It is a habit for me to check Josh’s school bag. I wanna make sure he finish his water, his lunch bag (whatever it is I cook for him in the morning) and to see if he brings any school homework.

Then last Friday, I noted there was an envelope inside his bag. Took it out and found it was actually an invoice for Josh’s school fee for the month of August. “Dear, you got ’saman’!” I told hubby.

Yesterday, I took this out and put the amount requested inside and put it on the table.

Josh : Mommy! That Lau Se (teacher) gave my Josh!

Me : No, Lau Se give mommy.

Josh: No lah, Lau Se give my Josh.

Me: Yes, Lau Se give Josh so that mommy can put money inside it and Josh have to give it back to Lau Se again (I explained as if Josh understand why 

Josh: Ooooo..mommy got enough money already?

Me: ?????? (hmm did I say something the other day in front of him?) Yes, darling. Mommy have enough money already.

Adui dear son, I am so touch you are so concern if mommy have enough money or not for your school fee. When Josh asked me that question, I felt that Josh has grown up but I’m sure, he asked me for the sack of asking with no meaning.

If only you are a bit older and understand what’s happening, mommy would have told you how hard our life is but no worry Josh, even though mommy was planning to use the money to buy a new cabinet knobs that was broken by your twin brothers, your school is more important. No worries Josh, mommy and papa will find the way
