Not so long ago
Remember when we were teeny weeny toddlers???
Remember how we wanted something but was restrained from by our parents??
Remember how powerless we were???
I just realised that i can't remember those days anymore..
Today at the mall i had this sudden urge for ice-cream.
Not just any ordinary ice-cream, i wanted to eat
THE McFlurry Oreo ice-cream.
After paying for my ice-cream i found a place to sit to slowly enjoy this yummy indulgence.
As i was licking my way to heaven, there was this kid who passed by me, eyeing my ice-cream with those hungry little eyes.
He then pointed at my direction, pulling his mum's skirt, chanting ice-cream! ice-cream!
The boy went into a tantrum when his mum refused to get him what he wanted and started screaming like a maniac.
His piercing screeches were so annoying that i went up to the lil boy and gave him a smack on the head to shut him up.
Yeah rite, his mum would have strangled me if i did that to her precious son.
But instead, i went to the counter and asked for another McFlurry Oreo ice-cream and gave it to the boy.
And at that very moment, i realised.......
i was day dreaming.. LOL.
The lil boy never got his ice-cream, his mum never bought it for him.=(
It was then that i realised i haven asked for the permission of my parents to buy anything for a very long time.
I was in total control of my money. BUT, with money comes responsibility.
I still have to control my spending or else i'll be bleeding my pockets out.
I can't buy every single thing that i lay my eyes on.
I'm not a kid anymore. But if i were a kid... HO HO HO...!!!
With the allowance i have now...
i would have bought myself, or rather, Barbie, a brand new house and a whole set of new clothes.Keke.
Moral of the story??
Hmmm... Just go with the flow??
You'll grow up sooner or later..??
Ahh well, everyone goes through this stage. It's a phrase of life. LOL.
WE"VE GOT THE POWER WHEN WE GROW UP!!! ^^V
Anyway, when i went home, just for fun, i asked my mum a list of things:
JESS: Mummy!!! Can i buy chocolates?
MUM: Buy lar. =.=
JESS: *smirks* How about chocolate chip cookies?
MUM: You like larrrrr.
JESS: WUAHAHAHA. How about a puppy??
MUM: NO
JESS: A new car?
MUM: NO
JESS: A new house?
MUM: NO
JESS: A new boyfriend??
MUM: NOOOOOOooOOoo
JESS: T___T
A new revelation..
I've only got the power to buy food.. T___T
-Out-
