mom and nuts

Sometime in March, my mom went to Australia for an after-retirement holiday and also to visit her sister, my auntie who is living there.

She bought a few large packets of macadamia nuts which we love, and gave one packet to me when she returned a month later.

From April till September, I polished off only a quarter of the packet.

Last week, my mom saw the remaining nuts which I’d stored in a nice little jar.

Mom: You don’t want to eat, give me lah!
Me: Iyerr… why you buruk siku one…
Mom: Hah! Unfilial daughter!
Me: HAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!

A few days later, I gave her the jar of nuts.

Me: Nah, give you la… macadamia nuts anytime also can buy, but I got only one mother…
Mom: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!

Two days later, the jar was empty.

A bit regretting my ‘filialness’ moment now…

    Moral of the story:

    One can eat a jar of nuts in two days, but one can’t really eat a child.

    Unless you are a certain baby-munching someone. LOL

  17. Unmemorable trip to Perth. » (Pingback), 17. September 2006, 14:14

    [...] After lunch, we went to Woolworths, a supermarket beneath the restaurant. I refrained from buying loads of junk food. But I did buy some dirt cheap muesli and a few Cherry Bounty’s (ooh la la). As I was browing for macademias for the Suan, I came across this packet of cashews. [...]
