Conversation with two 12-year old kids

*Over lunch*

Kid 1: Sandra, how long you think my mother will be in the operating theatre?

Me: I really don't know but I have heard that it takes as long as 16 hours to give birth.

Kid 1: Ya ya ya ya... My mother took about that long time to give birth to me.

Colleague: Ah... Then you must appreciate your mother you know? It's not easy! When I gave birth to my 2 boys, I had such a hard time.

Kid 1: Really? What happened?

Colleague: It's very very very very painful. *turns to me* Do you have monthly cramps? If you have, giving birth will be tough I heard.

Me: *continues eating* Ah huh... Never mind. I pray hard.

Kid 2: Sandra, so how ah? Are you going to get married one day?

Kid 1: Ya ya ya Sandra, are you going to get married? Are you going to invite me? When you give birth, can I bring my baby siblings to play with yours? Will you bring your baby here to KU Home?

Me: Hey hey hey! By the time I give birth, you SHOULD be out of KU Home and back to your family leh!

Kid 1 & 2: Ah!!! So you are going to get married la! Invite me ok???

Colleague: Eh Sandra, you got boyfriend ah?

Me: Er.... Actually, ya.

Colleague: Hey! You got time to meet boyfriend?

Kid 1 & 2: *Smiled sheepishly*

*End of Conversation*

One of the best conversation I had with these 2 kids.
