Quick witted E




We walked into a bakery. Instantly, E ran to the cream cakes section. He pointed to the biggest chocolate cream cake on display. ( 1 kg).

E “ Mummy, I want this”
N “ No, Mummy, I want this slice of fresh fruit cake, just a small one”

E” No, I want the big big chocolate cake”

Me “ No Ethan, this is way too big. Let’s just get a slice of fruit cake each “

E “ No No!...I like chocolate cake only”

Me “ No Ethan”

E “ But it is my birthday…” (speaking softly and displaying his pitiful pleading look)

Looking at my little boy, I had no heart to deny him of his wish though his birthday was still a month away. I couldn’t figure out how he could have dreamt up such a “timely” reason to have his wish granted. We bought the big chocolate cake at the end.

Upon seeing my action,

L added “ Oh I see. Ethan, papa will take you to the car showroom next time and mummy will say “yes” to all your wishes. You will tell mummy you want the latest 7 series, ok? ”


I gave L a dirty look :( :)
