Fair

Bed Time.
Younger Boy started the chat.

YB : Dad, it's so Unfair?

I : What's Unfair?

YB : Why do I've to be the Youngest?

I : You're the Youngest in our family.
That's a Fact NOT Unfair, my boy.

YB : So, why couldn't I be the Eldest?

I : Because.....you'll then ask,
'What couldn't I be the Youngest?'

(YB started to laugh)

I : So, why do you think it's Unfair...
To be the Youngest?

YB : Because you always ask me to...
Give you a massage.

I : But you said you wanted to earn..
Some money. And I pay you £1 for 2 mins!

YB : Yeah, but that's not enough.

I : Do you know UK's Minimum Wage?

YB : No.

I : It's abt £5.80 an hour for adult!

YB : So?

I : I pay you £1 for 2 mins.
That's how much an hour?

YB : £30 an hour?

I : Yes, that's how many times of the..
UK Minimum Wage for adult?

YB : About 5 times?

I : Yes.
It's so Unfair because......

Dinner time, Elder Boy started a chat.

EB : Tutor'd asked us to use 3 words to......
Describe how we feel abt the school so far.

So, which 3 words did you choose?

EB : Unpredictable, New, Excited.

I : And the reason?

Let

When picking up Elder Boy from school,
I noticed him having a cheeky smile.

EB : Dad, I've some bad news.

I : Have you?
Do you want to tell me now?

EB : Yeah. Remember I told you...
This morning we'd to play an instructment..
In our music lesson at school today?

I : Yes, you did tell me this.

EB : I cried in the lesson.

I : You meant when you're playing piano?

EB : Yes.

I : Why?

EB : I just forgot how to play ...
A bit in the middle & a bit in the end.

I : So, you cried in front of your class?

EB : Yes, but they didn't notice.

I : How come?

EB : I didn't cry out.
I'd a few tears in my eyes only.
Others didn't notice this.
Because my head was low and...

I : And?

EB : And I'd quickly moved onto anther song.
The one that I composed myself.

I : Did they like it?

EB : Yes. Few clapped their hands.
And one even said, 'Encore'.

I : That's good.
Would you tell me why you'd cried...
I meant, had tears?

EB : Well....you know......

I : Well...I don't quite....you know....
Would you tell me then?

EB : (With a smile, blinking his eyes)
Well, sometime, you just have to,
'Let it go'

Unexpected

Had a meeting with school.
Finished 5 min after school finished.
All students left.
Including our Younger Boy.

Spotted him walking down the street.
On his own.
On his way home.
Stopped driving & spoke to him.

I : Surprise, surprise!
I thought you're waiting for Mum.
At school gate.

YB : I did.
But I didn't see her.

I : Did you go back to office?

YB : No, I went back to school..
Playground & left through back gate.

I : Did anyone see you leaving school?

YB : No.

I : Noone inside?

YB : No, everyone's gone.

I : What happened next?

YB : Back gate was locked.
So, I climbed over the fence.

I : (Noticing him had tears)
What happened, my boy?

YB : I damaged the fence.
I broke the side when I felt over.

I : Gosh..did you get hurt?

YB : Yes, a bit on my wrist.

I : It's alright.
Were you walking home earlier?

YB : Yes.

I : Why did you not wait longer for Mum?

YB : I thought she'd forgotten.
