Jan: " I'm so bored! Can we play a game?"
Me: " No."
Jan: " Pleaseeeeeeee, da jie. Pleaseeeeeeeee..."( pulls really hard on my sleeves)
Me: " Fine. Let's play the quiet gam-"
Jan: " No~ We always play that game."( tugs on my sleeves harder)
Jo: " How about the silent game?"
(Janice stomps foot and glares at us.)
Me: " I have an idea. How about the 'let's pay attention to the road game'. "
Jan: " I don't want ! I'm not even driving! Daddy is. I want to play 'Simon says'."
Me: " Okay then. Simon says be quiet."
Jan: " Not fair~ I want er jie to be Simon."
Jo: " I know! Let's play I spy. I spy with my little eyes...something green."
Jan: " So easy la! The trees."
Jo: " No."
Jan: " The grass?"
Jo: " No."
Jan: " The plants with flowers?"
Jo: " No."
Jan: " Your face? (Jo shakes head) Your eyes? ( shakes head again) Your hai-"
Me : "Your booger-Ow! Why did you pinch me?"
Jo: " No!"( gives me the evil eye) "It's the gates! See?"
Jan: " Ohhhh. Ceh."
( We reach the restaurant. Sits down and waiter comes to take order)
Jo: " Here's another one. I spy something that looks like a pyramid."
Jan: " Nasi lemak!"
Jo: "Nope."
Jan: " The lantern?"
Jo: "No."
Jan: " Um-"
Me: " Ugh!" ( throws up hands) "This game is so boring! Can't we just be quiet and ignore each other like a normal family?"
Jan: "Da jie!"
( waiter appears with a plate of Nasi Lemak. Places it in front of Janice )
Dad: " Eh, eh, kita tak ada order ini."
Waiter(shrugs and points to Janice): " Dia yang order tadi."
Dad: " Tak Ada la. Mana Ada. ( turns to Janice)Janice, you got order or not?"
Jan: " Where got? I didn't! "
Dad: " Dia cakap tak ada. Boleh ambil balik tak?"
( waiter grumbles and takes plate away)
Me: " She did say you know. In the game."
