I Want To Be Four Years Old

When Bee was three years old, she asked me with a worried look,

"Mom, why can't I be a four-year-old girl yet?"

I replied, "You will turn four years old when your birthday comes."

She continued, "If I sing a birthday song can I be older?

If you buy a birthday cake for me and Dad and

Pon and you say,'Happy birthday,

Bee!' and If I blow the candles out, can I become four years old?"

I smiled and repeated the answer.

Although she might not be in a hurry,

time feels to go to slow for everyone once in a while.

My Eco Life

I make coffee with ground coffee beans,

a dripper and a coffee server.

My dripper doesn't need filter paper because it has sieves.

Recently, I've been making more coffee than

I need and saving what I don't drink

at that time in a thermos bottle.

Now I can drink hot coffee anytime,

and save time and gas to boil the water.

"What a good idea, which is also eco-friendly!"

I thought and said boastingly to my husband.

All he said was, "That's great," in a stoic manner,

but I don't care.

He isn't good at praising me.

Our Hamster

Bee had hamsters on the iPad.

Now she wants a real one, so my husband bought one for her.

I claimed that I wouldn't be able to take care of it
because I already have a job, two girls and a dog.

Initially, Pon and my husband that they would
take care of the dog, but they don't.

I get up at 5:40 every morning and take our dog
for a walk before going to work.

Afterwards, I make breakfast, prepare Bee's clothes
and backpack and leave home.

I pretend not to have any interest in the hamster
but truthfully, I like her.

Even though no one knows whether it is male or female,
Bee insisted it was a girl and named it Hamko-chan.

When I looked at Hamko-chan, she was sleeping.

I thought it was funny that her eyes were slanted
because the entrance of her house was narrow.

(Wink!)

Keep it a secret that I like Hamko-chan!
