math

Missy bought 5 red apples, 3 oranges, 8 pears and 9 chocolate bars.
How many fruits did Missy buy in all?

Kate confidently wrote: "5+3+8+9=25".
Mum: Could you check it again, please?
Kate: *checking and counting* Yes, it's correct.
Mum: Are you sure?
Kate: Yes, five plus three plus eight plus nine equals twenty-five.
Mum: Read the problem carefully.
Kate: Mmmm ... it doesn't mean 5 red apples are 1 fruit, does it?
Mum: No, it doesn't. 5 red apples are 5 fruits, but 1 kind of fruit.
Kate: So? My answer is correct.
Mum: Ok. How many kind of fruits are there?
Kate: Four.
Mum: And what are they?
Kate: Apple, orange, pear, cho ... eh ... :) :)

birthday present

Mum: Hooray!! Daddy is browsing the internet to find something for my birthday present :D
Dad: ???
Dad: What do you wish as your birthday present?
Mum: Hmmm ... Kate, would you help me find some ideas?
Kate: I'm not gonna tell you. It's a secret. (She has some plans for Mum's coming birthday)
Mum: Any idea, please. It doesn't have to be something that you would give me.
Kate: Let me think ... bicycle? pen?
Mum and Dad: ???
Kate: So you could use the bicycle to send me to school and the pen for marking my worksheets.

thunder vs firework

Mum and Dad were reading and Kate was studying when we heard very loud thunder. Kate quickly came to Mum and Dad and insisted to pause her study until the thunder has gone.

When the next thunder came, Dad said "FIREWORKS" and we all laughed. "Horray ... Fireworks" said Kate continuing the fun.

Kate took her book and continued study near Mum and Dad. Every now and then, when we heard thunder, Kate said "fireworks" but kept studying calmly.

Kate got mail ...

Recently, whenever Mum checks mailbox with Kate, Kate asks "Is there any mail for me?". Eventhough Dad's and Mum's mails are mostly bill and bank's matter, but for Kate those are mails to be opened and read, and she wants some, too.

Last week Kate got one mail which one of the pages said:

one is not enough

Mum made one and Kate asked more for her friends.

HAPPY CHILDREN's DAY
