Dilemma of a working mum

Nadine is always asking Mummy to fetch her home from school. Could be because whenever I pick her up from school, it's usually an outing day. Or maybe she envies her friends who get picked up by their parents. Or perhaps she just wants to see more of Mummy.

Every now and then, she'll ask me, "do you have to go to work today? why?"

Yesterday morning, she pointed to a Mum and said, "that's my friend's mummy. She doesn't have to go to work."

"How do you know?" I asked.

"Because she fetches her home."

It was said very matter-of-factly. But, it really got me thinking ........

And while thinking emo thoughts, something else came came to my mind. Since she takes the school bus, Nadine comes out from a different door as the other children who get picked up by their parents. She must have been really observant to note and remember that particular mum! Great observation, Nadine!
