Strawberries are a favourite fruit of T1 as her Nana always cuts it up and makes a delish cream to go with it so strawberries are a common site in Nana’s house.

One day, when Nana was caring for T2 and the baby was getting cranky, Nana shouted out to T1, “T1! Please go bring in the strawberry!”

A puzzled T1 walked out and back into the room, “What strawberry, Nana?”

“Mommy’s strawberry! T2 likes Mommy’s strawberry, it’s on the coffee table. Go bring it quick.”

T1 runs out to look for the estranged strawberry but sees nothing red on the coffee table, nor anything that remotely smells of fruit. Being the resourceful girl that she is, she even looks on the dining table, the TV cabinet, the floor, the ceiling, inside her pants………but no strawberries!

“I can’t find it, Nana….”

Amidst wails of crankiness, trying to pacify a baby missing her Mama, Nana said in controlled curtness, “It’s out there, my dear! I just saw it!!!”

T1 runs out again to focus. And concentrate. Mommy always tells her to FOCUS. And she starts wishing Mommy would come home quickly with some strawberries. Still no strawberries. Sheepishly, she walked back into the bedroom and told Nana she couldn’t find the strawberry.

In exasperation, Nana told T1 to keep an eye on T2 so she could get it herself and stormed out. Seconds later, she handed the strawberry to T2 and there was immediate silence.

T1 looked at the strawberry with intense bewilderment. Were her eyes playing tricks with her or was she starting to have a delayed English vocabulary problem? It had been awhile since she did have strawberries but the last she remembered, they were still red. She finally summoned the courage to speak, “THAT’S not a strawberry?????????????????”

It’s not?? It was Nana’s turn to be puzzled.

“NO!!! It’s A BLACKBERRY!!” T1’s annoyance immediately shifted to hysterical laughter that her Nana thought a blackberry was a strawberry. 5 year olds find things like that darn funny.

“Aiya, how do I know? Strawberry, blackberry, blueberry…..you all have so many berries!!”

“No????? There is only ONE Blackberry! HAHAHAHA….!!!!” T1 continued to laugh. The important thing was T2 was happy. Bless Nana.

My mommy, as smart as she is (and she is VERY smart, have you ever seen the size of her forehead? It’s like a Tyra Banks hammerhead shark and she’d eat you alive any day if warranted!) and as kind; has a mental block when it comes to technology. She does not use a computer (except for checking stocks) and she has the most basic of phones. Give her an i-phone and she’d use it as paper weight. Give her a Nokia communicator? She’d fling it at you as a weapon from frustration of not being able to sms. Her French automobile only sees the Golden Triangle between where she lives, where I live, and KLCC (and everything else in between). Don’t give her directions to Shah Alam for she’d end up in Balakong, worse the border of Laos. If Uncle Ben were to tell T1 he bought a new mouse, Nana would be screaming how dare you buy a mouse? Get that thing out of my house right now!!

I intend to teach her how to use a laptop soon with step by step instructions as Uncle Ben will be leaving the country and they will need to stay in touch. Besides, being online is so much fun!
