iBinge: Kulinarya Conversation

We were secretly waiting for Kulinarya to re-open and when it did, we were there. I love the cozy new interiors, the contrast and the wall graphics were actually spoons and forks, love it. Now, we were ready to have a taste of Kulinarya.

This is really how it usually goes when we're waiting for our food. Less talk to endure the wait. But after a few spoonful of carbohydrates, that's when the conversation starts.

For the record, I don't want to give too much credit on how strange my daughter's brain works -- in a good way though. Here's the thing, I've never known anyone YET who could outwit her. And I'm not talking rocket science, just general knowledge for a 9 year old and plain old wit. In that category, Kiara would be up in the running for a smart ass girl.

When she would get all intimidated with someone -- especially someone older, even at the point when she would want to disagree she would deal with it like a lady should -- smile. But at the back of her mind there's one big heated debate going on.

Jason: Where did you get your brain fixed?

Kiara: My grandfather's a neurosurgeon, but thankfully my brain doesn't need any fixing. Why does your brain need any fixing?

Jason: See! That's what I'm talking about! You should train me to be all alert in any given situation.

Kiara: Why so?

Jason: When I'm in an argument, my brain just stops working and I go all quiet. And when it's done I go: "Damn, I should have said this..."

Kiara: *face is all lit up* Me? Trainer? OK, here's the thing, when it comes to facts and general information, you should act like a sponge. Absorb it for future purposes. But when it comes to an argument, you should be like a Ping-Pong player, throw it back and hope that the opponent can't catch up.

Jason: Unbelievable! Spoken like a 90 year old, not a 9 year old!

Janiz: What? Don't look at me.

Jason: This was all because of you! You made her like this! Is this your science project? An experiment maybe??

Janiz: Is that a bad thing now? I just exposed her to whatever I have and everything is all up to her.

Jason: Aristotle? Plato? Is that you?

Janiz: I like that, but no, we're not.
