En Xi cares for En Jun

Dear En Jun,

If you ever get angry with your sister and are not talking to one another.  Read this and remember that your sister cares a lot for you.


2311hrs.  En Xi was having a hard time using the pencil sharpener and kept breaking the lead. (It’s a weekend; you get to stay up late)
Mummy: Why don’t you use the battery operated pencil sharpener?
En Xi: It’s noisy.  I don’t want to wake DiDi up.
(So sweet right?)


1937hrs.  It was Sunday evening.  Mummy is away on holidays and it’s just myself with the kids.  My limited culinary skills compelled me to order home delivery pizza for diner earlier.  En Xi begins whining about being hungry and having a tummy ache.  The doorbell rang and it was the pizza guy.  I opened the door and quickly took the pizzas in.  At this very moment, there was a loud glass breaking sound.  En Jun just dropped “Yu Yee Oil” bottle on the floor and it shattered to pieces.  I screamed at En Jun, fearing that he will walk over the glass pieces.  After all the commotion was over and the mess all cleared up, En Xi walks over and spoke to me.
En Xi: Daddy, don’t be angry with DiDi.
Me: Why?
En Xi: I had tummy ache.  He wanted to apply “hot hot” for me.
Me: Okayyyyy. But he could have been more careful.
(Defending DiDi yet again)
