Multi tasking. Watching Grey's Anatomy and singing to me.

Scenario : Shopping for a pair of running shoes and socks for Cayden.
While we were choosing shoes for Cayden, Caitlyn was also busy looking around. Suddenly she appeared happily and claiming she found a pair of shoes for herself. Well, her taste was not bad as it was quite a sweet pair of baby pink sneakers with floral motif but then it was too big for her.
Caitlyn : Ok, I want this pair, Daddy.
Daddy : No, Mei Mei. We will buy it for you next time. For your birthday.
Caitlyn : Why? Me want this one...
(Ignored...)
Caitlyn : Daddy, MAY I have this one PLEEAASSSEE. (She thought if she used the magic words it would work.)
Daddy : Next time ok Mei Mei? Next time we buy for you.
Caitlyn : Ok
...........
Off to the departmental store to get the socks. We were looking at the wide selection of socks available. Caitlyn too had her share of choosing and yet again her requests to get a pair was turned down.
Caitlyn : I need socks. I don't have socks, Daddy.
Daddy : Never mind. You wear sandals so you don't need the socks.
Caitlyn : Then what are you buying for me, Daddy?
Daddy : Nothing Mei Mei. Just socks for Ko Ko.
Caitlyn : Why you don't buy me something? I also want to buy something.
(Plea goes unanswered and she comes looking for me)
Caitlyn : Daddy said he is buying me something! (Smiling away happily)
I turned to look for Cavin who was not too far away and he heard the little one's exclamation. We both laughed at her determination.
She was still persistent and kept asking us what we will be getting for her as we were walking towards the food section.
Daddy : Ok we go buy kacang for Mei Mei ok?
Caitlyn : Yah, buy this kacang! (Pointing at a box of Ferrero Rocher)
We exchanged glances again....
Well in the end we bought her a packet of kacang as promised, not the Ferrero though. Her efforts did pay off :D
Moral of the story :
"The most essential factor is persistence - the determination never to allow your energy or enthusiasm to be dampened by the discouragement that must inevitably come."
