Darius went to the sink to pour out his cereal drink because it doesn't taste good.  When MKT saw him, he scolded him.  He said, "Don't try to do that, Little Darius.  I am warning you."

After school, the three kids rented a DVD from the video shop.  The movie is entitled 300.  They already watched this movie before at Ninong Dimitri's house.  When they got home, they finished their homework first before watching the movie.

MKT did not bother because he is cooking a dinner for them.  Then, he took a glance at the movie and saw it is too violent for kids to watch.  And, Little Prea is just four to understand the film.

MKT said, "This movie is for adult.  Where did you get this?"

Little Darius replied, "Ninong Dimitri let us borrow his membership card to rent a DVD at the store.  We already watched this movie at his house before.  It is a good movie about heroes."

Little Prea added,"Red is now my favorite color.  It is symbolizes blood and true bravery. "

Little Darius also added, "I like the hero King Leonidas.  He is my real kind of a hero."

Little Salve added, "It says show no mercy."

MKT gasped.  He quickly called Ninong Dimitri on phone to complain about the film they watched.

Ninong Dimitri replied, "Oh my God!  You are the reason why Little Salve cannot speak eloquently because you letting the kids watching some dumb films.  The kids are complaining to me that you let them watch My Little Ponies a hundred times and that makes them sick!  I am their godfather and I know what I am doing in guiding those kids.  My friend who happened to be your dear wife trusted me so much in handling those kids because she is sure of what I am doing. Now, cook your dinner because I am very busy here with my papers.  Good Bye.."

MKT is hopeless.  Then, he thought that the kids are just fine.  So, he continued cooking the dinner for them.  Then, Little Salve saw her father cooking their dinner.  And, she approached him.  She looked at the Japanese cook book and said, "Are you sure what you are doing? Do you need my help.  I can put something on it like salt and pepper."

MKT replied, "No, Little Salve.  I am fine here.  Go now with your little brother and sister and watch the DVD."

Little Salve said, "I am sure that it will not taste good because you did not put salt and pepper on it."

MKT replied, "I am fine, Little Salve.  I am very busy if you don't mind go with your brother and sister to watch the DVD."

When they were having a dinner, the kids are surprised with the taste of the food.

Little Darius said, "The vegetable is crunchy.  But, I like it this way."

Little Salve said, "It doesn't have too much salt and pepper."

Little Prea said, "The meat is easy to chew.  Are you sure you did not buy it from the Japanese restaurant?"

And, MKT said, "I am so happy that you love our dinner."

The Finale

Little Salve's learning skills is improving and she was recommended to go to the normal school.  She and Little Darius are attending the same class.  Little Prea is still very stubborn at her age, she did not follow her teacher's instruction, but she managed to pass the preschool with her charm.

MKT is sometimes busy with his business and does not have time for his family.  But, sometimes, he treated his family to go to New Zealand, Australia, Europe, Bangkok, Hong Kong, and other countries during holidays.

While I am spending much time with my kids, and I am very grateful for they are being part of me. This is the way I enjoyed motherhood.

During summer vacation, i let my children attend summer classes.  Little Salve need to improve her Math, Science and Language so she has a tutorial on these subjects.  Little Darius need to improve his Chinese subjects so he attended a tutorial class.  Little Prea also needs to distinguish letters, shapes, and colors so she is having a advance class and workshop in arts to express her natural abilities.
