Daughter: Mummy, are you my best friend? Mum: Yes dear. Daughter: But you are bigger than me? Mum: Well I am the best person to talk to about anything, the best person to tell you what direction to take, the best person to help you up.
Daughter: But mum, how do you know so much? Mum: Well you see, I came to this world before you, you might not experience things the way I did, especially with the gap of technology but some old ways can be adapted to the new. Daughter: Did you ever get scared of your mum, I mean grandma? Mum: Yes dear, she was like me and you but she also didn't have all the experience I did, so when I did things she didn't understand, she scolded me.
Daughter: Are you going to scold me? Mum: Sometimes yes, it doesn't mean I don't love you, its only because at that time, I least expected what happened and yes, it depends on what you have done. Daughter: Mummy do you love daddy? Mum: Of cos I do. Daughter: But you people argue, sometimes he comes to the sitting room and gets angry at me.
Mum: Laughing... Its normal for us to disagree and the way he gets angry, might not be the way I get angry at him but it doesn't mean we don't love each other. People disagree to agree. Daughter: Oh ok. Mum: Is there anything else you want to know? Daughter: Can I come to you and tell you anything, even when am angry?
