Dear Daddy

Yesterday my girl wrote a note for her daddy. I wanted to post it here but I think daddy has thrown it away. You know how men are. They are not sentimental about such things. I thought the note was cute and worth remembering so I shall try to remember what was on it and reproduce it here. It said....

Dear Daddy,

Can you give me RM4? I would like to buy 3 flowers. One for mummy, one for my class teacher and one for my computer teacher. The flowers are RM1.50 each. So daddy, can you give me RM4 because I have 70 sen in my purse. Tomorrow is the last day. Please daddy.

I like the "Please daddy" at the end. Haha. This girl sure knows how to ask for something. What will daddy do? Well, daddy asked mummy about it. Mummy said ok since last year we said "No". Then mummy and daddy agreed that baby brother will be jealous and ask to do the same but both mummy and daddy agreed that baby brother will have to take "No" for an answer and wait till he is in Std 3 before he can make special "buying requests" like that. :P

So with that settled, daddy came and gave the girl RM5 just before bedtime and I heard her telling daddy "But daddy, I only need RM4 daddy. I have 70 sen in my purse. I don't need RM5. I only need RM4." Daddy said she could return the change (which she will since she is a very honest girl) then after he left the room she said "Yes!!!!" and went to keep her money in her purse.

Then she asked mummy whether she wanted to have the pink flower or the red flower.

"Mummy, the pink flower is made from harder cloth but it has shading. The red one is softer but no shading. Mummy, I know you will like the pink one. You like pink don't you? I want to buy the pink one for you and my class teacher because I don't want to give my computer teacher the pink one, I want to give her the red one. You like the pink one don't you? I know you do." and after I agreed with her that I like the pink one, she said "Mummy, how will I hide it? Mother's Day isn't until Sunday. I know you have seen the flower but if I buy it tomorrow, how will I hide it till Sunday?"

After I told her that it is ok, she can give it to me before Sunday, then she went to sleep happily.

Little girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice..... :)
