I don’t wear my wedding ring often these days because of my fat fingers, but today, I felt the urge to wear it and honoured it.

Then, at the bus stop, I congratulated myself for having the fortitude to force idioms down my son’s throat. Because I consistently drilled idioms like 十全十美 and 美味可口, he could read the name of the main protagonist 可可 when I activated his muscle memory 美味。。。

After we finished reading the book, bus 812 arrived at our bus stop and we got ready to board it. This was when I realised to my horror that I had LEFT MY WALLET AT HOME. Probably because I was distracted by the thought of squeezing my wedding ring on my fat finger!

Rushed home like a maniac. Snatched my wallet. Boarded bus 811. Fortunately arrived at school only 5 mins past my assigned duty — only because I stopped to question a student for the spelling of photosynthesis in front of his mother. Man, I didn’t realise that I would be living A DAY WHERE EVERYTHING WENT WRONG at the ripe old age of 45!
