These situations cause quite a number of melt-downs and one particular topic of ‘discussion’, for lack of better word when said discussion is being had with a 3-year old, is whether to go on the bus or not. Here is what usually happens: we are on our way to do something that mama has labeled as ‘fun’ and whilst walking past the bus stop my eldest starts screaming:
– “Bus, bus I want to go bus!”
– “Oh no, not now dear. We are on our way to pay a fortune at a soft playroom today, won’t that be fun?”
– “But I want to ride bus!”
By now my youngest joins in (yep, they gang up on me) repeatedly shouting one of his favorite words: “Baaasss!” Well, the other day I had what I’d like to refer to as an aha-mama-moment. Whilst our usual bus episode unfolded before my eyes, I turned around and went: “Sure guys, let’s go on the (friggin’) bus!”
If this sounds like a killing-me-softly type of thing to you, then just walk on by the bus stop (if you can..). Sounds familiar? My secret favourite bus route is getting on the no. 30 from Vivocity direction Bedok MRT. It’s a fairly long ride (about 40 minutes or so) but you’ll drive past landmarks such as Marina Bay Sands, Tanjong Pagar Railway station (built in 1920s) and Singapore Flyover to just mention a few.
May the baasss be with you mamas!
