Keanu-Nanu Time

The afternoon was long and it was time to go home. Keanu and I passed-by the petshop to buy dogfood then we hailed a cab. Keanu was tired and put his head on my lap.

Keanu: Mommy, what did we have for lunch again?

Me: Chicken rice. Why? Are you hungry now?

Keanu: No. I'm just thinking.

Me: What are you thinking my love?

Keanu: Why you smell like fish?

Me: Huh?! What do you mean?

Keanu: Your feet smells like fish, Mommy. When I lay my head on your lap, I smell it.

(at this point, I noticed the cab driver looking at me)

Me: thought in bubble: Que horror! My feet don't stink and quickly, I needed to find what it was.

Seconds later, I realized the dogfood I bought was not Eukanuba or Science Diet but THIS and was proving true to its name.

I was at the grocery with the little ones and after prowling the place and gathering stuff, I summoned the wolf cubs to stay near as I paid.

tink. tink. tink the scanner went then:

Keanu: Mommy, is it expensive?

Me: I don't know yet but we'll know soon. Why?

Keanu: Do you have enough money?

Me: Yeah, don't worry.

Keanu: Because we don't have to buy so much. Only what we need right?

Cashier glances at him and smiles.

Me: Yeah, Mommy tries to buy what we need so we don't waste food.

Keanu: (in the mood to be teacher continued with)--Because wasting food is not right.

Me: Yes, my love. Good that you know that.

silence...

I paid with the debit card and as we were waiting for the receipt, Keanu said:

Keanu: Mom, you're smart.

Me: Surprised what smart thing I did for once---I asked Why?

Keanu: Because you used the card to pay so that means, you don't lose money. Right?

Me and the cashier laughed and I had to explain.

Me: No Keanu, I still lose money because the card I have is only allowing me to use the money I have. If it's empty then I can't buy with it.

Keanu: Oh...
