This morning, EE and I were talking about motherhood and she told me a touching incident.
Last week, she accompanied her sister and nephew to the Raffles Institution open house. At the RI boarding school, she saw a foreign Chinese student wrapping a gift. She asked him why?
He replied, “It's for my birthday.”
EE was puzzled. “Shouldn’t you be receiving, instead of giving, presents on your birthday?”
He said, “It's for my mum. My birthday is the day she went through so much pain giving birth to me.”
How sensible indeed!
