Tan Siew Pau

Std 1 Girl: (for the 3rd week in a row) Teacher...tell me...are you siewpau?
Me: Who says I'm siewpau? Just now siewpau wore dungarees, I'm wearing jeans.
Std 1 Girl: Noo...each time I see you, you always wear the same shirt, shoes and glasses as siewpau.
Me: Really?
Std 1 Girl: Yes, reaaaally!!
Me: Oh...that was my twin.
Std 1 Girl: What?
Me: You didn't know ah? I have a twin sister named Tan Siew Pau. And you know right, twins always wear the same clothes.
Std 1 Girl: Bluffing me!
Me: You don't believe me?
Std 1 Girl: No.
Me: Go ask the teacher over there.

The Teacher Over There: Yes?
Std 1 Girl: Does siewpau have a twin?
The Teacher Over There: Of course! And you know who their father is?
Std 1 Girl: Who?
The Teacher Over There: Pastor!
Std 1 Girl: (confused) Reaaaally?

Std 1 Girl: Teacher Caryn, tell me lah...
Me: Tell you what?
Std 1 Girl: Do you really have a twin?

Lol...kids nowadays...

And yes, we eventually did her the truth.

Fungus vs God

Me: What is more powerful than God, more evil than the devil, the .... poor have it, the rich need it and if you eat it, you die?
Kid: Fungus.
Me: Fungus is more powerful than God?
Kid: Fungi?

Lol...kids nowadays...

Hyperness personified

Background info here.

To the world I'm a serious, emotionless, blur child. They get surprized when I morph into my hyperactive, hyperemotional, but still hyperblur stage persona - siewpau.

But to the Sunday School children, I'm a hyper kid in dungarees and a huge lala ribbon. - only to be shocked kaokao when I walk into class and refuse to be the hyper, overgrown kid they see on stage.

Speaking about overgrown kids, these 14 year old dungarees are kinda short for me. If I were a guy, my voice pitch would be more than a few decibels higher. But I'm a girl. And I don't have that problem. Thank goodness.

Anyways...nothing much has changed since then...besides the fact that my quads are more prominent. WHAT HATH AMERICA DONETH TO ME?!?

But I think I'm getting old. This flopping around like a fish (transition to) jumping like a bunny in 2 seconds is taking a toll on me. I need to go into hibernation. Goodnights.

PCD

Because last sunday was prize cupboard day, and I'm thinking of my girls...
