Supermum

I think of myself as a very good parent. I think, if there was an award for the best mother in the world, I will win it. In light of my status, let me share with you my secret of being the BEST mother in the whole wide world.

Thou shalt not lie to thy kids.

My kids come with built-in lie-detecting antennae. The husband is still trying to figure out where this darn antennae is and when he does, it will be disabled.

So, here's an answer guide to the list of questions that might be asked if you were a parent. As this is a G-rated blog, questions that touch on R-rated topics are not posted here, but available upon request via email.

Q1. Mummy, did you actually queue for two hours for these doughnuts?
A1. No, I didn't. I am a *very* busy executive, I get my colleagues to queue up for these damn good doughnuts for you.

Q2. Did you take the last chocolate doughnut (shrieks and tears follow)?
A2. No. It's your dad. He took it.

Q3. Is pizza junk food?
A3. It depends. If there are other healthy home-cooked food to be had, pizza is junk food. But if there is no other food for us to eat, then it is absolved of its junk food status.

Q4. What is a junkie?
A4. A junkie is someone who is addicted to something that is not healthy and usually that addiction will ruin that someone's life. An example, someone who uses drug, that is bad for that person and he might die of that addiction.

Q5. Mummy, I heard daddy said you are an email junkie.
A5. An email junkie is an exception to the rule! I will not die from checking my email every 5 minutes!

So there, a glimpse of wisdom for you to ponder on. Someone bring me my sash and tiara now.
