sundays used to be family day where everyone gathered at gran's... and one of the rare days of the week when i actually played "gurl games" with my female counterparts... and boy, how i hated those games...
a typical senario:
XY1: "ball! anyone???"
XY2,XY3,XY4,and Me: "Cool! deal!"
We all prepare for a good battle in the court as a shrill voice pierces thru
our joyousness and break hearts....
XX1: "hey let's play 'cooks'!"
Me: --!@#$@#%!@$%!$%.......not again?????-- (in my head of course)
Mom: "what a good idea. my gurl would certainly love that.
*smiles at XX1,XX2*
*turns around to smile at me. complete with THE FRIENDLY STARE. broken
pieces of my heart now shatters*
Me: ".......ok........" --!@#$!@%#$^$%^#%--
*removes shoes and trudges into room to play pretend*
Some time passes by and plates of whatever-nots lain on the bed, the floor, and
whatever crevices that could be used.
XX1: "Come on! let's go serve our moms our delicacies!"
XX2: "OK!!!"
ME: --wHAT?!!?!?!?!-- ".........ok.........."
*holds plates of make-believe char kway teow and char siew bao and trods behind
XX1, XX2, out of the room to civilisation once more*
XX1: "da gu! here's your order of char siew bao!"
XX2: "yes! siew mai to top it up with!"
ME: "errr... mom.... errrr... char kway teow.... errrr... yar....."
Mom: --.............--
*smiles as she tries as much as she can to picture strips of calender paper
topped up with gran's cake of beauty powder as food much less delicacies*
"yum!"
*smiles*
All these happen as i hear screams of delight from the battlefield as my
boy counterparts score their goals in the showdown of the week.
Me: *sigh... Sigh... SIgh... SIGh... SIGH....*
--what the *beep* am i doing here????--
So, some conclusions you can make:
1. yes. XX2 follows what XX1 says.
2. moms always try to be difficult. not try. they are! =)
3. it IS difficult being the only gurl kid in our humble abode.
4. being the eldest gurl kid, i got to give in to mom's friendly stares and not kick
up any fuss, and thus forgo my own joy to play pretend.
5. being the eldest gurl kid, i also got to give in to XX1 and XX2.
which is so bloody unfair cos they totally make use of this fact.
they ARE tyrants. they still are ok??!!
6. i could have been much fitter if i was allowed to go to battle.
7. i could have made it into basketball team and not give it up cos of
basketballophobia.
8. pretend will always be pretend. there can be no more realistic pretend games
of any sort.
9. yes. XX is for gurls and XY is for boys.
10. YES! i HATE giving my posts titles!
