Drama Queen was helping me chop onions in the kitchen today while I was cleaning the fish and marinating it. Â Alycia sauntered into the kitchen…
Alycia – hey Kay Yi, do you want to play badminton downstairs?
Sher – *sniffs sniffs and wipes off tears from her eyes*Â I can’t… (sniffs and wipes tears with back of her hand again). I have to cook first.
Upon hearing this, I burst out in a loud guffaw!
Me – HAHAHAHAHAHA! You sound like a crying Cinderella who has to cook and can’t go out to play!!!
Then the three of us chortled while Drama Queen and I  wiped off more tears from our eyes. Gawd, how I hate the deadly sting gas from raw onions. Though I did not chop the onions, the smell and inhalation of it is enough to make my eyes sore and shed buckets of tears. Thankfully, Drama Queen does not mind a wee bit, though she will always be screaming dramatically  “MY EYES, MY EYES, I HAVE TO RUN TO THE BATHROOM!!“. But after washing her eyes, she will gleefully continue chopping the onions and shed more tears. LOL!!
Today Drama Queen helped me to cook rice and sauteed vegetables. Not bad for an 11-year old and she fares a lot better than her 13-year old sister.
I am really blessed to have this ever enthusiastic dramatic side-kick to help me in the kitchen. We look forward to cook dinner each day. It’s the best way for us to bond, though our wires often cross when we are out of the kitchen 😀
