Can't Argue With Raiyan

Raiyan was expected to bring an “artifact” to school the other day but it slipped poor babah’s mind as he had to be a single parent again this week with me being away in Singapore. On one of the nights that I was away, babah typically brought the kids out to Hua Ho to spend some quality time together and of course for him to sporadically indulge in solely spoiling them without me putting the strict brakes on.

With Raiyan being all into dinasours now, it was no surprise that he went home with a new bucket of dinasour figurines (to add to his gazillion collections already). The next day, he very casually asked babah if he can take his dinasours to school for “show and tell” . We as his parents are somewhat aware that his class has “show and tell” sessions but weren’t completely sure on what day it was. Impressed with Raiyan’s initiative, babah gave the green light and Raiyan happily lugged his bucket of dinasour figurines to school.

The afterschool report we had received from Jo was just short of hilarious! Apparently, Raiyan had already sensed some level of guilt for talking and breathing dinasours a bit too much before Jo (as I think because Jo would see it more with her spending more time with him in school). So Jo told us of his immediate “uh-oh” look when he saw Jo come into class without a chance of him hiding his dinasours.

Jo: What’s that?

Raiyan: It’s my artifact because we are supposed to bring artifacts to class!

Jo: But Raiyan, that is not at artifact! Artifacts are old things that have been around for a very long time.

Raiyan: But DUH Jo, dinasours are artifacts because they are a million years old!!

HOW CAN YOU ARGUE WITH THAT?! LOL!
