It was a sunny bright Saturday, and I thought it would be just like the past few weekends. Just drowned in chores and the 3 babies.
Nah..., hubby sauntered into the hall in his messy hair asking me to hurry as we are going to rush down to Philips showroom to get my breastpump parts replaced, and we only have 1.5hrs to make it!! (As my 2 pcs of 3 yr old pumps have both gone on strike with faulty parts.)
We hurriedly packed up and left the house with Joel and baby Noelle, and of cos not forgetting Joel's PSP. Joel, as usually, left with us in glee as he's been in "confinement" with me for past months, and any ride in "papa's car" would be a real treat!
On arriving, Joel was running around the showroom chasing another kid, with PSP in one hand. Sam and I were both busy negotiating with the sales rep whether we could get a replacement at a better pricing. Little did we notice, our dear little "monkey" had casually left the PSP on one of the rack in the middle of his chase. It's only after I had queued to pay up, that I heard papa asking Joel in a stern voice "Where's the PSP?"
We repeated the question to Joel umpteenth times, and his angelic innocent looking face seems nonchalant to what had happened, and what would be the consequences. He finally broke down into tears after we explained, "No more PSP, daddy and mummy don't have it anymore."
Sigh, penny wise pound foolish. We saved some on the pump, but.......we lost the PSP!! Lesson learnt, NEVER TRUST LITTLE ONES WITH EXPENSIVE TOYS!!
Hmm....perhaps someone should really invent a device detonator with a remote activater. Haha....
