Back to Nursery...

It was like we were back to nursery school. But I cannot remember if I ever went to nursery. But I do remember me in kindergarten school. I remember my hair being tied into 2 pony-tails. Mommy would walk me to school a couple of blocks away, crossing a road and a car-park. I remember mommy holding my little hand with me swaying it to and fro and skipping my way to school while mommy was trying to keep up with my pace and calling out to me to, "Walk slowly, girl. What if you fall and hurt yourself? There will be scars on your knees and legs. Then you will not be pretty anymore" .

Anyways, last night's dinner was something different. Prince G and I had home-cooked alphabetical macaroni and soya noodles.
The alpabetical and numerical macaroni were meant for kids but I obviously made a mistake when I scouped the packet excitedly off its shelves when I was in Mustafa Centre last weekend, for I have never had alphabetical nor numerical macaroni before. So, just to satisfy one of my childhood gourmet fantasies, I absolutely forgot about the size of them and paid for it at the cashiers.
Since the alphabets and numerals are the tiny ones, I decided on adding in the soya noodles to go along with our dish as Prince G was against the idea of me pouring in the whole packet of alphabets and numerals into the cooking pot.
While we were almost finishing our dinner, guess what?? Prince G started to play, back to nursery school. She painstakingly went through her bowl of alphabets, casting away the numerals into her mouth, to form 3 words in her silver spoon. "I LOVE YOU" She fed me with those 3 words and I smiled shyly to myself. *blush* *blush*
Prince G spelt my name next. "PRISCILLA" She could not find the letter "I" in her bowl. So she decided to make one out of another. She presented me with it and again stretched out her hand to fed me.
We laughed and agreed that it was like we were back in nursery school learning our alphabets and numerals, and trying to form sentences. She smiled shyly and looked down at her bowl when I commented that she was sooo Cute... That is her romantic side. A simple gesture to bring and show her love and affection towards me, Princess Priscus....
Romantic, huh.... Kekek..
Not wanting to be outdone, I created her name too. "GLENDA" Placing the letters onto my porcelain soup spoon, I stetched out my arm and fed it to her too. She stared at it for a couple of seconds, opened her mouth wide and in the letters went.
Okay, girls and boys. It is now time for you to re-learn your A, B, C's and 1, 2 3's...
