Noodle Feast

Little Brother wanted to tag along when we (Second Sister and I) decided to have a food trip along the many lines of Chinese restaurants downtown. In order not to be irked of his wailing, we agreed but telling him that he should behave. And he promised.

While inside the car, second sister and I were talking about the old saying about noodles and pastas that if you eat a lot of them, your life will be longer. Second sister told me that she had heard of it, too.

When we reached the first restaurant, and after ordering noodle feast. Little Brother hurriedly scooped the flat noodles (only) and ate them with gusto. Second sister was about to give him a ravioli but he strongly refused with head turning left and right in disagreement. “And why is that?’ I asked. ‘From now on, I’ll only eat noodles and pastas, all of them, even without the pork, the chicken, the ravioli, the squid ball and everything,” he replied and continued after I showed him a questioning look, “So that I’ll live longer and you die earlier.”

The people around him asked this little boy to smile. He tried his best and his first smile resulted to something not really a smile.

His dad asked him to smile some more and the result was more like not a sweet smile but a sour smile!

There were a lot of fun and food to eat that day. It was summer and it was the only time to spend with family and relatives. So, the gang went on an excursion except that the other group of relatives was not able to come.

The destination was a not-so-far-away beach resort. When the group arrived, which was a little bit late, big crowds were already there and occupying the nearby cottages.

Because they went there to enjoy, they tried their very best to enjoy the beach and the food. The water was not that deep along the bank so a few of them stayed because this few do not know how to swim. After hours, one of them spotted something floating along the waves. A diaper.

This little winged creature landed on my daughter’s finger without a warning… Fascinating.

BUTTERFLY TRIVIA:  The magnificent color of butterfly wings does not come from pigmentation directly on the wing, but from the tiny scales that hang on the wing like shingles on a house roof.   These scales are so small they look like powder when rubbed onto the fingers.

The dining room is a special room. It is where we gather at night to eat supper when everybody is around and the family members are complete. The simple dining table and chair are onlookers while we exchange our views, conjectures, jests, et al, on issues, news, showbiz bits, celebrities, politicians, VIPs, et al.

A family story…
