Mum, where did you go?
Mum was engrossed in checking out the groceries and picking up the fruits and vegetables in the supermarket, then someone walked toward her and went very close to her...
It was Jackie with eyes brimming with tears.
Mum: Jackie, tell me what happened? Why do you look so upset?
Jackie: I just found you, Mum.
Mum: What? You just found me? You mean you lost Mummy just now and were looking for me?
Jackie nodded her head slowly, looking both cross and sad.
(More like a case of crazy mum...)

He or She?
Jackie: Mummy, I can't wear this Minnie Mouse top anymore, it's too small. Can I give it to baby Gary?
Mum: Gary is a boy, I don't think the top is suitable for him.
Jackie: But he might grow up to be a girl, you never know.
Mum: What do you mean?
Jackie: Just like me, Gary may become a girl next time. I saw my baby picture on the book shelf, I was born a baby boy, but now I have become a girl.
Mum: Gary is a boy, I don't think the top is suitable for him.
