All About Your Child

Some may ask, why do all children birthday parties have balloons? I know many of my friends dislike having balloons near them. They hated the screeching sound when you rub your hands across the balloons. They hated the fear that’s creeping up in their mind that the balloon right beside them may just burst any moment.

Even though my boys had been hurt by balloons before, (Man! Its painful when the balloons burst in your hands) they still welcome balloons with a big smile whenever a nice uncle or auntie pass them one.

We were in the bank. Long queue as usual. Thank goodness the staff in the bank understand the patience level of kids and handed them a balloon each to get them entertained while the adults are in the queue.

When you have kids, changes big or small do happen to the couple, don’t they? Celebrating Valentine’s Day? Its a thing of the past for Allan and I. I do not have a romantic husband anyway, so it makes no difference to me if we celebrated this day or not.

I still remember the 2nd Valentines’ Day we had together as an unmarried couple. 2 days before the day when practically every girl would have a bouquet of flowers in her hands, he asked me, “What would you like on Valentines’ Day?” “I like suprises, so don’t ask me this question. You decide.”

He decided indeed! Guess what was my suprise present? NOTHING! Throughout the day we spent together, watching movie, eating at a fancy restaurant, I was still imagining what was the big suprise he had installed for me. As the hours pass, the suspense was killing me. When he sent me home, every part of me was prepared for the big suprise. But he just kissed me and say ‘Goodnight’.

Damn! I was pissed! I asked him in total disbelieve, “Where is my Valentines’ Day present?!” Knowing that I was angry, he said in a ‘don’t-blame-me’ kind of voice, “You said you wanted suprises, I know you will be expecting a present, so by NOT giving anything would be the biggest suprise, wouldn’t it?”

Arrgggh! I was so angry! How could he be so…..arrrgh!

*Sigh* love is blind afterall, isn’t it? Well, I still marry him and gave him two smart boys.

Wanna share a song Allan and I love very much ~ Love Me by Collin Raye
