Nigel Goes Shopping
Nigel, my eldest grandkid love shopping because he knows grandma would buy him just about anything that he asked for. His favorite shopping centre is at Toys World owned by Bellevue Enterprise Sdn. Bhd. He love to sit at the children's reading corner and would take down many books from the shelf to browse and flip through. We came upon a beautiful fairy tale storybook about Tales and Rhymes. My grandson seems to like that book a lot and wanted to take it with him. I said to him that we have a book almost similar to the one he held. He said he wants to see 'foggy' which actually means "froggy" and 'znail' which means "snails" in there! Well, after much reassurance, he at last let go of the book and we placed it back to where it belongs.
On our trip home, he kept on reminding me about 'foggy' and 'znail'. He even made a deal with me! And the deal is, he will ride his bicycle and go shopping and buy for me "a pork", "a beef" and a "finger" of Milo (malt beverage) with his ringgit (malaysian currency), which Grandpa gave him. 'But', he said raising his pointer finger, 'mama must read to him and Nicole, his sister, a story about 'foggy' and 'znail', only then he'll do the shopping. Very smart ideas this little cheeky tot has! Oh! How I love them both!
