Backache, Headache, Stomach ache...

Isabel is always known as our little "Drama Queen". She can turn on the water works, complain about aches and pains just to escape certain things such as doing homework, eating dinner or getting punished.

So... recently she was putting up a show about how backache is affecting her ability to eat dinner. I stood up and took her to see the doctor.

One of the reason I did so was that I just want to be sure that there really is nothing wrong with her before I start lecturing her about not eating dinner. Its also better to be safe than sorry for not treating her earlier if there is something wrong.

As the doctor examined her, I started to pray that everything is alright with her. The doctor asked her a series of questions then later asked me to get some urine sample to test for any kidney problem, just to be sure.

The toilet was a distance away outside the clinic, so after I got the sample, I hid the bottle in my pocket and walked back to the counter. But along the way, Isabel had to be the K-Po one, kept asking me:

"Daddy... where's my shh-shh?"

"In my pocket la..."

"Why?... Why put my shh-shh in your pocket."

" Don't let people see mah..."

"Why people cannot see my shh-shh?"

While waiting for the doctor to tell us the result, in my mind I was playing around with the scenario, what if she has kidney problem? Instinctively, my first reaction was to give up my own kidney for her. No questions asked or second thought about it.

Heck... She can have my heart if she needs it... as long as she is able to go on with a full life...

Its all I want to see.

Well good news is... her kidneys are fine.

So now I have to work on her attitude towards eating rice.
