Flash back 2012 - FB in a year. A year with Maoster.

January to December 2012. The words of a very wise Mao and etc.

Maoster is devastated that this year starts all over again from January. Again?! He exclaimed! Oh man! He sigh! K2 tomorrow?!?!? I guess we all have our fears for tomorrows.

I think one of the most exciting task as a mother is to stand right outside the toilet door waiting and asking every now and then" are you done?" The door is locked upon privacy request but he was quick to mention, later you'll help me with my butt and can you show me your shoe so I know you are there?

 Maoster is cried his entire way home from school and is still sobbing as he witnessed staff from NEA sent to kill flocks of birds by feeding them toxic feeds. His poor heart is broken, keeps screaming poor birds!

Maoster jumped and did a stunt - I walked past and he said, Mum, you can do it too - the fatty jump. Hmph! Boys! (Aung was laughing at the background, although discreetly)

Maoster gave a victorious look as he got rejected by school due to an ulcer in his mouth. He looked so smug as he said goodbye to his friends as if he won a golden ticket.

The most private part of a man according to my son is POO. He explains that in the gents, only when they poo, they go to a room with door. POO is the most private part, you know? No one can see POO!

After requesting meal worms for his birthday (and I got them already anyway), he now asked for tempur mattress. He said because they are meant for children and you need not sun them for dust mites and astronaut used them during rocket launch. Apparently, the salesman had a chat with my 6 year old. Anyone has $1500 to spare? Now I think the toy Dept doesn't seem so bad afterall.

Aung threw Maoster's art piece away and now in the middle of the night- at the mercy of his wailing son, he has to reconstruct the art piece for show and tell tomorrow. The night is long- my son says he is so going to get it tomorrow by his teacher.

Aung is going though parenting crisis. First he threw his son's art work away, now he told his son that spelling is on Friday instead of today. His drama boy refused to get down the car to go to school and cried buckets. I think he needs to "de-parent" for a while.....

Do you know what are evergreens? They have leaves all seasons and most of them are toxic to rabbits." said Maoster."I dunno. How you know?" I asked. Maoster replied, "because I read alot." Okay...... I better start reading cos Aung knows too lor! Chey!

Maoster just asked me if he could skip primary school and go straight to JC next year.

Maoster asked me if I get seasick. I do, I replied as I get motion sickness fairly easily. He was shocked and said," You get sick each time you passed motion?"

Maoster is asking for carrots for supper tonight. "Tomorrow, have eye check in school, you know! It's about time!, he said.

During the day, I go through my student's marketing plans. At home, I go through Maoster's. He wants to set up a petting zoo - this way he gets to rear animals without having to kill them for food.
Can make $$$, he asked?

Maoster's holiday assignment - "what does National Day means to me?"
I gave him some suggestions: wearing red and white, nation's b'day, parade etc and he went. "mom, you need to be quiet, I need to think!" 5 mins later, he said, " I confirm run out of ideas, you have any,mom?"
ASK YOUR DAD!!!!!

Found Maoster tearing at a corner and before I could ask what's wrong, he bawled, I did something wrong! I took a peep at my spelling earlier when you tested me and I feel terrible!
The relief of his confession brought joy to him again.

Mao's version of heaven: I will fly around, play a harp and sit on a cloud. Guess it is adapted from Tom & Jerry

Mum, I wiped my butt and now it is as clean as a whistle. But who would use my butt as a whistle, no one would use it right

As I was discussing with Aung about my fears, Maoster interrupted us and said that today he volunteered to be the prayer leader during praise and worship in school. Prayed for his family and friends. He told me he prayed about my concerns already and everything will be ok. Such a tender boy.

Disaster recovery acts after a "thundering" mom act:
1. Mom, I changed my mind. Let's go to the supermarket .
2. You can choose what to eat for bf. don't need to choose what I want. Sometimes you get to choose too.
3. Don't buy this just because I like it. Buy something you like.
4. Just buy okay mom, I will help you carry home.
5. I'm okay with anything, you can decide what to cook for lunch.

Came back home in excitement to tell me that:
Salmon is really good for children and pregnant woman as they have good oil.
Catfish have high level of mercury so it's not good for children and pregnant woman.
Listen hard, Mom! You are pregnant! Eat right!

Maoster was in his philosophical mode yesterday as he looked at a sticker his teacher gave him for his spelling. The sticker reads PERFECT. He says, "No one is perfect and will never be. I don't understand why this sticker says Perfect. There is always something we can do better."

My son is making bf for the family. I hope it would not be Nutella smeared on everything. Will I break his heart if I say let's go for prata? I am not cleaning up. Maybe I can play dead and lie in bed whole day. Good luck Aung!

Maoster asked how I looked like when I was young. I described a little and he said, so you were fat last time too?
And after which, he said, errrrr no lah no lah.....

The ackward moment where you went to the nursery, smiled at a baby and say, hey mummy's here. And the nurse looked at you and say Mam, your baby is the other one. Hahahhahahaha hahahahaha. Jialat!

Maoster asked:"Do you know that male ants ( most of them) mate with the queen ant?
MATING! Can you believe it?"
He started laughing uncontrollably.
My alarm went off. What does my 6 year old son know about mating?
So I asked." What is mating?"  Trying my best to act innocent.
Maoster: " MARRIED LAH!" SO MANY PEOPLE WANT TO MARRY THE SAME GAL!"

Maoster's funny bones.
