Leaving our children behind, both my husband and I went to our beloved Pasaraya Bintang last night. It's our weekly routine where we purchase our weekly supply of groceries. Armed with a list, we went from shelf to shelf at times together, at another separately so that we can finish quickly as we do not like to leave our children for long.Once we have made our purchase, we walked straight to the car and I helped my husband transferred the goods from the shopping cart to the boot. Finished, I pushed the cart back to its place and then got into the car.
Almost half-way of our journey back we heard something fell off our roof. "What's that?" I asked my husband. "I don't know." he said. Suddenly, something came into my mind. Goodness me! Slightly embarrassed I asked him, "Did you take the eggs from the roof just now?" "What?" he asked me. "Well, I put the eggs on the roof. All the others are quite heavy, so, I don't want the eggs to be crushed. So, I thought I put it on the roof first. Then when everything else have been transfered, I'm going to bring them in with me." I tried to explain myself. "Then?" he asked. " Well, I took the trolley back and I totally forgotten about the eggs." My husband just look at me and started laughing "Things you do...!"he said in between his laughter. "It's not funny being forgetful!" I tried to defend myself. "Now I know why that few months away, do you remember? When we saw a pair of school shoes on the roof of a car?" he said. Oh yes! I do remember. Though it was a funny sight but now I can share the feelings of that lady. It's two of us, now!
When we reached home, of course he told our children all about it!(Sources of images - white cistus from www.mooseyscountrygarden.com; eggs from www.wisebread.com)
