29. NO.1 DAUGHTER

As a kid, I was a comics buff. There's this stereotypical Chinaman detective, Charlie Chan, whose assistant was his ABC son, whom he addressed as No.1 Son.

I thought that hilarious for the old Chinese did refer and address their offsprings by order of birth. These days, I enjoy Calvin & Hobbes and The Simpsons.

 

 I have kids all over the place...

I have Indian kids in the Home in North India where I've spent some time in the last 2 years.
I have Malay kids in the tuition center where I tutor English every Saturday as a volunteer.
 
I have my foreign kids in the international school where I work, who are a far cry from those disadvantaged ones above.

I have my neighbourhood kids - all girls - whom I shall call The Jack Russell Fan Club. They fell in love with my dog whilst I was walking him. They call me often to arrange to meet in the playground, with my doggie of  course - I've become one of their buddies - Cool!
 

 

My kids keep me grounded. They keep me in the loop of things. All are smart, calculative at times - as they grow and mature will they have the right human values?

Only Time will tell......
