My son's first ambition...

Wiji has recently been making up all excuses whenever he needs to get ready for school. Instead of getting mad (sometimes!), I'd talk him into it by reminding him that he must learn so he can be like his dad one day. He'll be able to work and have a family of his own. And maybe he will have an idea and come up with an invention. Now "invention" was another lengthy discussion between us.

Last night, Wiji found me watching one of my relaxing American TV Series : Grey's Anatomy. He muttered, "Mum, is that your favourite show, the doctors?". And I said, yes! Since, tt was already late, I gave him a cuddle before tucking him in bed. I told him that I want him to be a surgeon someday. He declined. "I want to be a builder," he said. And I quickly assured him that of course it's fine by me whatever he chooses to be. He even added, "I want to build a car."

Looks like I have a soon-to-be Engineer in the family.

I just needed to blog this. So one day, I have proof to show when he complains about school again.
