Children are truly innocent and take almost everything at face value.
(almost always leading to something amusing!)
MP and I were having a conversation.
I've been psyching him (probably more for myself) that the budget airline that we are taking will not be too comfortable compared to the ones we usually take. So I warned him not to have such a high expectation compared the normal airlines we usually take - service will probably be bad, food not so good and expansive, drinks very expansive, have to walk very far, have to climb up the airplane, etc. etc. And so, no complaining & fussing OK!
Then it came to the topic of seats.
Me: The seat ah? Not as good and comfortable as normal airlines, smaller - probably like cardbox seats.
MP: What....cardbox seats?
Me: Yeah, cardbox seats with fake syntactic leather covering over them.
MP: Comfortable or not?
Me: Since I'm bigger and larger than you, you'll probably be more comfortable than me.
MP: Don't buy the tickets la. Get the normal airline ones, can or not?
Me: Bought and paid already....so, you want to go or not? If you don't want to, its OK.
MP: Want, want...
***little did I know that the 'cardbox seats' worried him so much that when we got home and he immediately asked DH (I was not around then), what are 'cardbox seats' as I had informed him that we'd be seating on cardbox-like seats on the airplane. So happen there were a stack of boxes lying around the house, so DH pointed to them. DH told me MP shriek in utter astonishment "WHAT....??? Why we seat on boxes??"
Then later that night while finishing some school homework.....
MP: Why are we seating on cardbox seats?
Me: *so mean but I burst out laughing because even after all those hours since our last conversation, he was still very concerned with the prospect of the uncomfortable 'cardbox seats'*
I explained to him that it was just a matter of expression that the seats are not as comfortable compared to the normal airlines we take; assuring him that the seats are 'proper seats' and not per se paper cardbox....just not so comfortable but since he is smaller than me, he should be fine.
MP: You ah (pointing finger at me).....you lie to me!! *smiling now*
Me: *Still laughing* No I didn't, as explained it was just a matter of expression to describe the seats. So are you OK now, anymore question on the 'cardbox seats'? haha
