Promise of a train ride

Monday

Bobo: "Can we go have sushi for lunch again?"

Me: "Didn't we just had sushi for lunch last Friday with Daddy at Chatswood?"

Bobo: "Can we have a train ride?"

Me: "Maybe. Perhaps later this week."

Tuesday

Bobo: "Can we have a train ride?"

Tonton: "Kiss me first, then I might consider it."

*Kiss kiss* (More than the usual quota)

Tonton is smiling from cheek to cheek.

Wednesday

Bobo: "Can we have a train ride?"

Tonton: "Er... I was planning to take you today, but Mami is going out ice-skating after dinner."

At this point, I had to remind Tonton that:

* he should fulfill a promise which he has made to a little child

* he should not use me as an excuse to get out of a promise

Tonton looked slightly ashamed of himself.

Thursday

Bobo: "Can we have a train ride?"

Me: "Daddy is going to take you on a train ride."

Bobo: "Can we go today? Then we can go eat some sushi."

Me: "No, today Daddy is working."

Bobo: "Which day does he not need to go to work?"

Me: "Two more days. He just need to work for two more days then he will have a holiday."

Thursday afternoon

Bobo holding up his finger. "One more day, Daddy just need to work one more day."

Thursday evening

While Tonton was cooking dinner, I reminded him of his promise.

(... to be continued. Will Bobo gets his train ride? Will Tonton live up to his promise? Find out in the next episode.)
