Bookuburra and Felicia

Dear All

Last year when Felicia was P1 and the book vendor came to SACPS, she had already "selected" her books and given the money. However, I guess we put too much trust in her and guess what? She made a bad purchase. When Tiff was in P1 or P2, we would have given her a cheque with the titles of the books written on a piece of paper. We thought Feli was more "zai" (steady) but I guess she's still a kid. We had a lengthy debate with the owner of the bookstall and she finally relented when Albert told her SACPS was a catholic school, so she had to be even more careful about what kind of books she brought in. Tell you about that next time we meet, if you are interested in the details. Anyway, Felicia sure says the darnest thing. When Bookuburra came again this week and her form teacher gave her the brochure/booklist, she told her form teacher "No need to give me as my mommy doesn't allow me to buy books" and she promptly returned Miss Yap (her form teacher) the brochure.

On the same day, Tiff brought back her list. When Feli saw it, she told her sis why did she bring it back when mommy says cannot buy from this vendor anymore. When I told Tiff what Feli said to her teacher, Tiff said "What a pooper!! Aiya, who cares! Just take it lah!!"

I guess one is street smart the other is still so naive!!

Feli does say the darnest things sometimes. She's sometimes smart, but sometimes a little stupid too! Whatever it is, these two darling girls do make my day and makes me laugh!

Love Theresa
