for a moment i was, "what? laugh at what?"
and then i realized ken had been talking.
i wasn't laughing because i hadn't been listening. i hadn't realized how badly i'd been doing it till sis said it, and till ken realized, for once, that he'd been saying funny things after all, and i had been the one not laughing.
the many ways we can rob a child of his childhood.
and one way is to not laugh at his funny story.
the greater way is to not listen to his funny story at all.
and in the end, he thinks he doesn't say anything important.

hey, it's perfectly understandable if you're too preoccupied with your thoughts to listen sometimes... as long as it's not a frequent pattern. i mean, i understand that it's hard to be always fully present, you know?
but yeah, keep trying. and keep laughing, at the right times. =)
[Ray] Maybe he'll read this when he's in Form 1 or what and he'll say, "Aper! Ah Hwei Jie Jie didn't listen to me wan ar!" =P
[Sieh Jin] It's more like he talks too much, so sometimes I tune out. Actually most of the time. Ahahaha. So it's a frequent pattern after all. Yahhhhh! Yeah, now I realize he's kinda funny. Haha.
