That was how adamant he was!

I still remember how choosy I was as a kid. Whenever we went shopping, I was always dissatisfied with whatever my parents chose for me and wanted to make my own choices instead.

I thought the little guy was different.

That's because I used to have a jolly good time shopping with him. No matter what I got for him, he always agreed full-heartedly with my choices. In fact, he was forever in awe with things we bought and kept on thanking us profusely even if we only bought him keropok lekor kat pasar malam  But  much to my dismay, the fun shopping moment has just ended!

We went present hunting for my nephew yesterday. Most of the time when we go present hunting, I made it a point to take the cheapest toys I could find for the little guy just to keep his hands off the present. He really had no problem with whatever I chose last time. But yesterday, when I showed him a tiny Spiderman figurine on a motorbike, he hold it hesitantly, and I could see that something was playing on his mind. He then avoided my eyes, put it down and said "Sat Irfan tengok toys lain dulu ok". I was like whoaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!  Wait a minute, don't tell me this guy has decided to start picking up his own toys?!? I knew he had his eyes on something else, but since when had he the guts to disagree with THE MADAM??? This couldn't be!

So in my attempt to lure him to agree with my choices, I started showing him other Spidey figurines that I thought might catch his attention. Spidey slinging his web, Spidey doing all sorts of stunts, this uber cool Black Spiderman that could transform and as final attempt, I even shoved the crossovers Venom under his nose. To my annoyance, he declined them all and stuck by his decision to get this one!

Oh oh little guy! Your momma is sooo going to sulk you know. From now on, if you feel the urge to get more toys, you just go korek your piggy bank and go shopping alone, ok!
