Your wish, my wish

This is our pillow talk last night:

You: I wish you were mbak…
Me: What…??? Why…?
You: No, no…, I wish there were two of you, one is you as yourself and the other is you as mbak.
Me: Why?
You: Well, as mom, you can go to the office every day, and as mbak, you can pick me up from school every day
Me: Honey, you know that by going to work, I make money, and I can buy you toys.
You: What about other moms? They don’t go to work. Bude Vinny doesn’t go to work.
Me: Yes honey, but we are building our new house now, and it needs a lot of money,,,,
You: Well, bude Vinny is not working, but they have a house anyway…, so I don’t understand…

Hmmm, someday you will, honey, someday you will…. In the meantime,I guess I just have to try my best to be a good mom and buddy to you.

KidZania, We Are Coming....

Tell me and I forget
Teach me and I remember
Involve me and I understand

I read the above in an article about KidZania in today’s Kompas. How true it is!

I’ve heard about this edutainment theme park since months ago, and I just can’t wait to take you there. In fact, just a few days after last Lebaran, we went there, coz a friend informed me that they are already open. But the guards told us that it is still being prepared and will only be ready for public by early November.

According to its website, KidZania is a kid-sized replica of a real city, with streets, buildings, retail and different vehicles going around the City. Here, children play adult roles and they learn how to be a doctor, a pilot, a construction worker, a private detective, an archeologist, an F1 driver and over 100 other professions and occupations.

Doesn’t it sound exciting? I just hope that it will turn out like what I expected, a place where you can learn while having fun, where you can gain knowledge and experience that can help you shape up to be a rounded person.

And today, finally, I saw the half page announcement ad in Kompas, KidZania will be officially launched on November 24.

So, KidZania, we are coming……!!!
