The father of the children left yesterday morning for his annual trip to the Hong Kong Fashion Fair. Last night, I thought of driving the kids to my parent's house to have dinner since we have not joined them for a family meal for a long time. As I was driving on a busy intersection, a passenger jeep on the opposite lane carelessly overtook another passenger jeep using my lane. Thus, he was running head-on to my vehicle at top speed. I had to stop to give way or else, we will surely have a head-on collision.
After a few minutes...
Son : Mom, can we contact daddy through YM?
Me : No, daddy did not bring his laptop this time.
Son : Did he bring his cel phone?
Me : Yes.
Son : Can your cel phone reach him even if he is in another country?
Me : Yes. We have roaming.
Son : (breathing a sigh of relief) Whew! That's a good thing.
Me : Why? You want to talk to him later before you sleep?
Son : Not really. Its just good to know that I can call him if you get killed by that jeep.
Should I be comforted by that thought?
