This photo was still taken over the summer, but I want to share with you my amazing Saturday. This weekend I get to spend a day out with my daughter. I missed our bonding, it's the time when we'd get to talk about a lot of other stuffs besides school. We left "mom and daughter" at home, we went out as friends.
We were out to look for tokens for her friends in school. It took us a few minutes to find something for the girls.
Kiara: (holding out for something) Mom, I think they need a fan.
Janiz: I don't see a reason why. Uh hello, in case you're living in a cave, we're in the rainy season.
Kiara: Uh mom, haven't you heard of the word humid? It happens, uh, in case you're living in a cave.
Janiz: Fine, get the fan so we can move on from this.
Kiara: *opens the fan, wide-eyed and surprised* Oh oh oh, I so love Spanish fans!
(The lady next to Kiara was surprised by the reaction too.)
Janiz: Sorry *smiles*
Kiara: Oh my, was I that loud? *embarrassed laugh*
Janiz: Big yes. So we're good here? Can we move on to the boys now?
(The last part doesn't sound right, I was waiting for a reaction but you just don't get that from a 10 year old.)
Kiara: *searching* I'm not coming up with anything mom. This is hard.
Janiz: Give them a pen or a paper, something they can use. Boys don't appreciate cute stuffs, it has to be something efficient, something they can use.
Kiara: Mom, I'm too exhausted to think, please do the thinking for me but not a pen and a paper puhleez!
Janiz: Ok, I'll give you an idea worth your while...give them a kiss.
Kiara: MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *dagger look* Can you not?! Lady, you just earned yourself an award for the world's lamest mom! *argh* No mom would say what you just did! Shame on you! *stomps off*
That was one major major piss off for Kiara. While I had my evil laugh plastered on my face as though I just made the best joke in my lifetime. But on the after thought, I am scared as hell in the coming years, it won't be easy but I will tough it up. And although I love the fact that she can be my friend and all, but there's a part of me that wants to pull her back to when she can only muster up the word "mom" with her cutest little smile.
