Today overheard a conversation between the hairdresser and my mom, they were talking in hokkien about kids nowadays. They said that kids are getting smarter and smarter, like they know how/what to retaliate when they are being given a hard question. But most of that response seems to me, like more of a rebel would answer. Not saying that I'm smarter than them or whatever, but IF, i were to respond like those kids when i was small, my mom would have given me a tight slap, or have given me a "cha kueh tiao" when i get home. I was being called an idiot in the past, lol i dont know why, but it's somehow contradicting. So, what does those parents(erm, well i mean my mom) actually want?! So i'd rather keep my mouth shut, than getting a tight slap for being too honest, when i was a small kid. They even thought i was a mute! Or rather audistic..
P/S: Yea, i do agree kids are getting smarter these days. But they're illustrating it in the wrong way. Giving rebellious response doesnt mean that they are smarter or whatever. I can do it better than them! xD

Then the baby next door is also "rebellious" in a way. And the grandma, was hitting her or scolding her or something. Then my mom seems to be very worked up when she talked about it, and she said, "How can she hit the baby?!"
Then i thought to myself, "But would she think the same if the baby was me?"
I asked her if she had ever hit me when i was a baby. This is what she said, "I didnt even have a chance to hit you when you're a baby! You were so quiet and inactive."
Hmm so is that supposed to be good or? Like being inactive is a bad thing.. but not being hit as a baby is a good thing i guess.
