Last week we had our buka puasa at TGI in Subang Parade. We were totally at lost of what to eat, ho-hummed the whole day when Mummy suggested TGI, for lack of a better choice… well Babah did suggest Sushi King but Mummy was unsure of how well it will go with an empty stomach.
Anyway, while we ate, Aunty Wawa called to say that she has some bananas from her own trees for us. We swung by her house on the way home. While Dan put the bananas in our trunk, aunty Wawa asked Titi where she had her buka but my daughter just grinned. Not wanting to appear rude, Mummy helpfully answered, “TGI…”. To her surprised, Titi was aghast at her answer.
“Tak ! Kita tak makan TGI !!” She said, face in a frown.
Mummy’s frown matches hers, very much puzzled.
“Eh ? Tadi kita kan makan TGI ?”
“Taaakk ! Kita tak makan TGI !” She insisted. It was mind boggling. So much so Mummy searched her brain trying to remember where she actually had her dinner an hour ago. Was her Parmesan Chicken a dream ? She remembered complaining to Babah the food was room temperature.
“Habis tu kita pegi makan mana tadi ?” Asked Mummy.
Without missing a beat, she answered in all earnestness, “Kedai mamak !!” Mummy’s frown deepened as she had never been so perplexed in her whole entire life.
“Kedai mamak ? Hang gila apa, Ti !! Tadi kan kita pegi makan TGI ?” Man, Titi had Mummy so confused she was wondering if she had imagined sending her baju for alteration at Subang Parade just now.
Luckily, Babah entered the car and off we go.
“Ti, what’s wrong ? Kenapa Titi cakap kat Aunty Wawa kita pegi makan kedai mamak ?”
“Takde apa-apalah…” Said she, shrugging her delicate shoulders and sat down. I heard Umar gave a little laugh.
What is going on ? Are they secretly trying to make Mummy crazy ?
