One day, I told Aldric, my elder one about growing old when we were about to go to sleep. We always had this tete-a-tete before we sleep.
"One day, mummy, daddy will grow old, then u will have to take care of meime...are you able to promise mummy that?
"But Ah Ma (grandma) and Ah going (grandpa) are taking care of meimei hor", he looked at me.
"Ah ma and ah gong will also left us one day..., mummy and daddy too"
"Extinct like dinosaurs is it?" he asked.
"Ya" I said.
There was sudden silence and then tears began to form in his eyes.
"Mummy, then meimei how? meimei has no one to take care of her," "Mummy, I don't want, I don't want.."
Then he started to cry....and then he vomitted.. I couldn't scold him, can I?
Oh dear, I shouldn't have started that.....
