presented my ID as i entered a building... uhm, my face was a bit too round and plumpy there...
guard: 'is this you, ma'am???'
me: 'yes... years back... 20 lbs. ago...'
older... hopefully wiser... definitely slimmer... ; p
that's it
cousin invited me to visit them in the US...
and then he said i might as well bring this other cousin of ours, too...
in the course of the exchange, the original one expanded to two then to four/five to hopefully six (from just me to me plus our other cousin and her family)...
and so the inviter went: 'Just like the line in Jaws --- I'm gonna need a bigger boat. Haha'
i didn't see the movie... just parts of it too long ago, i don't anymore remember... i was thinking when i read his comment, 'don't tell me he's gonna load the shark in his boat...' i therefore replied i don't get the analogy...
well, my cousin explained he realized if what we were talking about materializes then he will need a bigger car...
oh... so that really was the message! wahaha...
sometimes that thing you discount turns out to be the main point actually...
note to self:
'keep an open mind.'

grown-up halloween
cousin's granddaughter went trick-or-treating at my place yesterday (yup, extended halloween)...
cousin: 'what did you give them?'
me: 'a butterfly mirror plus clip for the hair...'
cousin: 'oh... i liked the mirror! i like butterflies...'
me: 'ask her... see whether she'll give you... or you can go trick-or-treating yourself...'
in which case, if she knocks at my door, i'll opt for trick... that would be interesting... ; )

kids: 'yes...'
me: 'ah... should be just once...'

<toot>: 'we want more of what we were given earlier...'
me to mom: 'they want some more, mom... what did you give them?'
