This post may look like it’s about my kids, but it’s actually about a valuable business lesson that I learned. Read on.
“Girls, come here now!” I called out for Mariam and Sarah.
I was in their room and was frustrated at the mess I saw. Mariam’s into beauty now so her skincare and makeup items were everywhere – some even opened. The bookshelf was filled with books but they were so messy, and not according to height. And their Labubus have given birth to other friends – Crybaby, Dimmo, Space Molly, Non-space Molly – this all has to stop! Despite my reminders everyday, the room was “macam tongkang pecah.”
“Yes, Mom,” Sarah came, cheerfully.
“Whattttttttt?” Mariam came, dragging her limbs to me.
Same uterus, but two very different girls. One is moody, the other oblivious. Both annoyed me at that moment.
“Look at your room,” I pointed to every inch of the mess. “If this continues, both of you will be grounded,” I warned.
Mariam grunted in the most annoyed tone, “Fineeee.”
Wah. If I said that to my dad or mom when I was young….
“Excuse me? Manners?,” I reminded her.
