I’m not sure why many of Tee’s dramas always occur whilst I’m spinning the wheel. Is it mere coincidence or is she that bored of the moving window scenery of Protons and highways? I have reminded her for the umpteenth time that whilst I am driving, it is the worst time to bring out the monster in me. Yet, she is already showing signs of sadistic tendencies and craves abuse and bloodshed.

On the way to pick up the Hubs from work today, we were all happy. We’d had a good day. Everything on schedule. I asked her if she’d had a good day. YES! How pleasing. One final task and my day was done. Tee all sorted. Dinner cooked. Just seconds before I handed her over to the Hubs. My head circled with happy thoughts. Fairies dancing in the wind…..

Of course, as though I didn’t deserve it, Tee had to wreck my fantasy.

“I have BERD, MUMMY!!!” (BERD = BLOOD)

“Where?” (half wondering if she made it up and half worried if she’d accidentally pulled her tongue out)

“In my yeg and my finger!!!” (yeg = leg)

Still calm, I sounded concerned, “What happened? How did you get it?” (not seeing much from the rear view mirror)

“The mosquito bite me and I got berd! I need a puster!” (puster = plaster/band aid)

She needs a plaster for a mozzie bite? At that rate, she’d be a Mummy if she grazed her knee. I told her I didn’t have a plaster. She reminded me that I usually kept plasters in my wallet. So fumbling with one hand on the wheel and another in my handbag, I searched. Zilch. Sorry, no plaster.

“I NEEEEEEEEEED a PUSTER!!!” Her legs start kicking the back of my seat and suddenly flashbacks of Poltergeist, the movie, happens right in my car. Tee becomes possessed and writhes in her car seat, shouting her own toddler version of expletives, doing this African head-banging dance.

“LOOK, MUMMY!!! I have BERD!!! I’m going to FAINT!!!”

For the purpose of this exercise, I stopped the car to check. You know, just in case that Mozzie did rip her tongue out. There was a spot of blood on her shin (a moz bite scab that she’d obviously scratched too hard) and a paper cut on her finger (no idea how she got that).

Fast forward – 10 minutes later of vehicular poltergeist.

I threatened her that if she did not stop, she was getting thrown. Not thrown. Flung. Out of the car into the dustbin. Then I calmly called the Hubs and requested for some plasters.

*whistling……*

My daughter truly takes the phrase ‘drama queen’ to greater heights.
