29 going on 20

The other day I brought my niece to Island Creamery just 5 minutes away from my place. It's always the same old drill:

"What flavor do you want?"
"Pink."
"As in strawberry? You want strawberry ice cream?"
"Chocolate."

This delusion of being a princess surrounded in pink glitterati has led her to think all things pink. It doesn't fail to amuse me when she always inevitably point to the dark, (not unlike FECAL my dear) swarthy brown paste of ice. It blows her fantasy, but i guess chocolate is always the better flavour and boy does she KNOW IT.

Speaking of princesses, I never had a barbie doll. I think my younger sister might have had one...During my time, barbie dolls were expensive! At 7, Barbies were overpriced blonde, curvy, ideal woman packed in plastic.I had the most hilarious time with this precocious class mate in primary school who had many and I, being the enviable moody girl at 7, I never failed to remind her the hideousness of her foreign treasured toy. I think it must have plagued her no end, she never brought them to school after that.

At 30, I will like to say, yes I was jealous of you having possesed the most coveted toy in my youth and I'm sorry if I made you feel victimised.

After all, I'm all grown up now.

29岁也算是20多岁

一天，我带着侄女去一家名叫 Island Creamery 的冰淇淋店，那里距我家只有五分钟。进去之后依然是同样的对话：

“你想吃什么味的？”

“粉的。”

“就是草莓的颜色？你要吃草莓冰淇淋？”

“巧克力。”

她做着被粉色名流包围的公主梦，觉得一切都是粉色的。可她每次都必然会指向那团黑棕色的、像糊一样的冰（跟便便差不多，亲爱的）。这体现了她的幻想，但我猜巧克力一直是更好的味道，她到底知道不知道。

谈到公主，我从来没拥有过一个芭比娃娃。我想我妹妹好像有一个。在我小时候，芭比娃娃很贵耶！对于7岁的我来说，芭比是站在塑料盒子里的那个有金色头发和完美身材的昂贵的娃娃。我想起念小学时发生的特别有趣的事。那时我们班有一位早熟的女生，她有很多芭比娃娃，这对于7岁的我来说当然无比羡慕，不过我总是很情绪化地跟她讲说，她所珍藏的外国玩具多么令人讨厌。我想那时她一定非常郁闷，然后再也不把它们带到学校来了。

作为30岁的人，我现在终于可以说，是的我非常嫉妒你拥有我小时候最想拥有的玩具，如果那时我伤害了你，那么我向你道歉。

毕竟，我已经长大了。
