So im sitting on bus 74 and heading to school now. Apparently I anticipate that im going to be late for storytelling class since I left my house really late. Who could resist waking up late on a day when theres afternoon classes?
Im not here to talk about how I spent my morning , but instead , im going to blog about something really interesting and funny that happened me 10 minutes before I got on the bus.
And it goes like this~
I took a seat at the bus stop , urgently waitng for a bus to come as I was running late. I was tapping my shoes on the floor and being really impatient. But luckily for me , I know that Mr leslies not a bad teacher ,and would probably understand why I was late.:)
It was then ,a little young girl , who was around the age of 7 or 8 accompanied by assumably her granny , came to the bustop.
The little girl gave me a toothless smile as she sat next to me ,and I smiled back at her. She seemed to be tinkering with the green little pouch hanging on her neck., tugging it as if something was stuck inside.
Her Granny , noticing her grandaughters trouble , gently took the pouch from her , and pulled out a smaller pouch from it. I watched in amusement as this happened. Who puts a small pouch in a pouch and leaves it hanging on their necks?
And she proceeded to say to her “ Girl arh , qing qing nah chu lai. Ze yang jiu ke yi ler ma” (Take the pouch out gently girl)
She then unzipped the smaller pouch for her granddaughter and fished out a small cellphone.
I swear I didn’t see this coming. A little girl of such a tender age having her own cellphone! Kids these days..and I thought I was pampered. )=O
The little girl smiled happily at her granny , and took the cellphone from her.
“xiexie ah ma” ( thanks granny)
She then proceeded to treat her cellphone like a gameboy , and played games on it. I cant help but peek at her screen while she was playing , and she tilted her phone to let me see how she was doing in the game. For a little girl , she was quite good at snake. When I was her age , I didn’t even had a cellphone , nor did I know what snake was all about.
Not 5 minutes passed when the girl’s phone rang.
“Hello”? the little girl said in a cheeky and polite tone ,but couldn’t pronounce the words properly as she was missing some teeth.
I glanced at her Granny , and she smiled and widened her eyes at me, as if saying “ kids nowadays huh ”.
I couldn’t help but smile back at her , and giggled a little under my breath.
It was then , the little girl who was answering the call , suddenly shot up from her seat , and stood up on it next to me. “OH halo MUMMY” she spoke with a tone that showed she was delighted.
“Wo kang kang fang xue”(I was just dismissed from school) “Mm!Ahma zai wo pang bian , ni yao gen ta shuo hua ma” (yep grannys next to me, would you like to speak to her?)
She did all this talking pacing around the seat , as if she was talking to an important client.
Her granny , noticing this said “Girl arh! Bu yao ti dao gege!” (don’t kick the .. urm, dude next to you accidentally!)
The girl , who was playing businesswoman , looked at her granny and said to her “ Mummy wen ni yao bu yao chi wu can” (mother asks if you’d like to have lunch)
The granny , appreciative with the concern her family showed her , smiled, and said in a naggy yet friendly tone to her granddaughter
“Wen ni zhi ji lah! AH ma chi ler!” (Ask yourself , I have already had my lunch)
The little girl then muffled her phone and spoke to her granny “Ke shi wo yao ni yi qi chi! Bu ran wo bu yao chi” (But I want you to eat with me , if not im not eating!)
Her granny with her naggy yet friendly tone of voice said “Aiyo! Bu ke yi! Bu chi wu can hui si qiao qiao lah!”
(nonsense! You have to eat lunch or you would die!)
The little girl giggled, and said to her mum who was on the line “AH ma shuo da chi ler , than da jiao wo ye yao chi. Bu ran hui si qiao qiao”
(Granny says she’s had lunch , and she asks me to have some lunch too, or id die)
After a slight pause listening to what her mother was saying,
The little girl said “Orh okay wo hui jia chi. Byebye I love you”
(Oh okay I will eat at home. Bye bye I love you)
While all of this happened , I was seated next to all the commotion , and trying not to smile too much. What could be sweeter than a caring granny and her innocent granddaughter?
I smiled, at the little girl and her granny , and waved a small goodbye wave to them just before I approached my bus which just arrived.
Intersting incident don’t you think?kids now a days….
