Amongst Other Things

Recently, I happened to find out that mommy had an abortion before. I knew she had a miscarriage because she told me long time ago, but she has never mentioned about abortion and it was daddy's (as always) loose-mouth that gave it away. Mommy is an extremely reserved person and I felt she didn't want to talk about it; therefore, I didn't probe further. But I am curious!

Few days ago, I talked about one of my secrets that I thought I would not share with anyone forever. It has traumatized me for years and to my surprise, it wasn't as hard as I imagined it would be to talk about this. I merely said one sentence about this, leaving out the details on purpose. Mommy kept on asking the subject (i.e. "who is the person?") of this matter and guessed "ghost" when I kept quiet (it's hungry ghost month for us Chinese), how funny. Retaliation has been executed.

I especially enjoy a particular month of the year; the month in which we celebrate daddy's birthday. Corporate institutions usually send cakes, gifts and vouchers etc and usually, I am the only one who is bothered to utilize them.
