Innocent kids

Now every morning, I take a private bus from home right to the doorstep of my workplace at Changi South. It is a convenient ride.

There is this plump Malay woman who also takes the same bus. She has three kids, age 2, 4 and 5. Every morning, without fail, the three kids and the maid will send the plumb Mummy off, waving enthusiastically at the mummy while she boards the bus and until the bus zooms out of sight.

Today, I saw the plump mummy and her three kids again, as usual. They were a bit late. The bus was waiting. Then I saw the three kids emerging from the HDB void deck, running towards the pavement, to where they usually stood to wave at their mummy. When they reached the spot, they started waving happily at the bus. But the poor mummy was still running behind them, catching her breath. Now then I realised the kids have been waving at the bus all along, not their mummy :-(
