It has been a long and tiring day for me. I barely had the time to sit in front of the PC to do my online work since yesterday. Today our live-in helper left home for good.   I thought I could call it a day off at about 9:30pm after making sure that the 3 rascals had taken their shower, gargled their throat with salt water and ready for bed until I smelled perfume in the kitchen and Alycia was yelling “mummy, Kay Yi is crying!”  I rushed out to check on her and she was sobbing away while struggling to tell me what had happened to her.   This mischievous girl, as disobedient as ever, had sprayed perfume onto her face and eyes!!  I had told her infinite number of times that she cannot use any of my make-up and perfume nor can she eat anything (in particular vitamins and Esberitox, which the girls love) in the kitchen without asking  my permission.   But she never listens.  Just like I need to remind her every single day to wash her hands with soap after she comes back from school before eating her lunch but she just never listens!   Anyway… I quickly took a sniff of her face and it smelled of my strong Christian Dior perfume!  Curiosity had almost blinded the cat.  She kept rubbing her eyes and cried uncontrollably.  I rushed her to the bathroom while scolding her profusely for using my things without first asking me.   I was worried yet fuming mad that she had disobeyed me yet again!  I scared her by telling her that the perfume would blind her eyes.  I told her that her disobedience had landed her in big  trouble.  I wasn’t sure if she was scared or worried.  Sherilyn is fearless, bold and daring.  She was crying simply because her eyes and face were stinging.  I quickly washed her face and told her to keep gargle her mouth with water.    I hope Sherilyn has learned her lesson well.
