"I Want to go to the Camp!"

"Mommy, I want to go to the school camp" was what Renee told me today when I picked her up from school. I've read the brochure last week and for the 1st time, I've found the programme layout to be rather interesting and I've actually considered signing her up if not for the fact that I'd miss her badly during the 3 days(it's only from 9-4pm by the way, heee).

I've not discussed this camp with her but apparently, she's been talking to her friend, Melinda(she's been mentioning about this friend quite abit lately) in school and told me that she'd like to join the holiday camp with her friend.

Although I could do my stuffs whislt she's with the camp, the idea of her not being around for most of that 3 days during such a short holiday break still doesn't quite entice me, plus there's the meals issue that I'm concerned about. But she asked me again at shower :

Renee : "Mommy, why can't I go to the school camp?"

Mommy : "because I'll miss you"

Renee : "it's ok(she meant it's ok, thr's no need to miss her, hahaha), I want to go"

Mommy : "cannot, papa will also miss you"

Renee : "but I'll still come back". "why I cannot go but my friend can?"

Mommy : "hmmm, maybe yr friend has didi, meimei at home and they can't look after so many children?"

Renee : "oh ya, Melinda has 2 didis"

Mommy: "ah, there u see"

(Heeeee)
