Mummy...I don wan to eat curry in the prison!

I was talking to one of my sunday school kids and he told me that he was afraid of police men. I asked what's the reason and he told me that he's afraid of eating spicy food given by them.
He said his dad told him.

Their minds of the kids are so innocent, they believed what ever the adults tell them. I told him that he should not be afraid of them, it's because police men are there to capture criminals and they do not arrest innocent kids!

And no, they don't serve spicy food, like curry in prison! Prisoners do not go shirtless, they are given shirts to wear.

I was scared off when I was little. My mom or was it my grandmother told me this whenever I am crying I will be carried away by a BIG INDIAN MAN. And the story of the police men and the curry food were all just too familiar to me by now.

Maybe I was crying too much or being too mischievous that time. If not, I won't live and enjoy myself childhood years of being naughty, won't I?

Are the parents are running out of creativity's until they are still using the same old lies?

Ps. What lies that your parents have use before just to stop you from crying or being naughty?

Pss. Are you still using these on your kids today?

Of Candy Floss & Ice Cream Potong

Gone were the days where you can easily get candy floss and ice cream potong, or cut ice cream precisely.

I remembered back in my school days, when after school at a certain time and day, there came a man with his motorbike thing, thing, ringing his bell rounding up my home neighbourhood. At an instant, I knew it was him. I ran out of the door, taking only a few cents.

I looked down inside his magic big container which have mostly 3 colors, yellow, pink and brown. One can surely guessed that it contained of vanilla or durian, strawberry and chocolate flavours. You can picked the ice cream either to be placed in a cone or in a bun. Whenever, I take the first bite, it really makes me just happy.

You can opt for an ice-cream potong if you would like to change your taste bud.
The ice cream potong comes with durian, red bean and chocolate flavour. Mine favourite was the durian and it costs only 10 cents!

Another one who always make his visit was the candy floss man. He will whirl and twirl the sugar in a candy floss machine till it became fluffy. Reminiscing really brings back happy memory.

Ps. I really missed these childhood snacks.
