Our parents are so imaginative and sensitive these days, that i think these adjectives aren't enough to describe the two sets of parents we have.
Every single thing, the tiniest bit we say, we do, they kept having this notion that we're pregnant and trying to keep it from them.
The thing is, don't think we are. But then again, we didn't do any test.
Should we? Should we not? Just afraid to have disappointments afterall.
Classic incident one:
One fine Saturday, usual weekly lunch with my folks.
Baby #2: 問你媽你可已去join gym 嗎？
Me: Mummy, 我可已join回我的gym嗎？
Mummy: 當然啦... (Dad was focusing on the food)
Baby #2: 可是她有了,浪費錢.
Mummy: (chopsticks dropped, eyes lit) Alamak, 真的有了啊? Woo hahaha...
Me: .... jialat leh.. (turning to my baby #2) Pls gao-tim 一下...
Baby #2: Mother, 我還沒說如果...
Daddy: (continues to eat)
Mummy: aiya... 我還以為是真的. 害我白高興一場. Cheh!
Me: ....？！...

Classic incident two:
One fine evening, his mother brought food for us to our place.
On the topic of the new addition to the family by his sister in-law...
Baby #2: (to his mother)... 你們有空ah,幫忙想baby的名,ok？
Mother: 時後到時,我們會的．
Me: (focusing on the yummy chicken wings)
The very next day, baby #2 received a call from his mother.
Baby #2: 喂...
Mother: mm... 你們有了啊?

Mother: 沒有啦... 懷孕lor.

Mother: 沒有meh? 你作天叫我找baby的名嘛，所以我以為嘛...
Baby #2: ....

See... our lives are very tough. Trying to coop with our parents' expectations and questions almost often on the hot question ~ "When's the good news?"... close friends, colleagues and relatives have been using this question as an opening to a conversation.
So "when's the good news?" ~ I wish I know when too...
=P
