愤怒的小鸟～衡量篇

接宝贝放学。看着他背着像大象一样重的书包（宝贝说的，他爱用比喻和夸张修辞手法），左手提着黑色的小书包，右手里有一根类似棒棒糖的东西，“糖”的圆形部分还挺大的呢！

原来看似棒棒糖，其实不是棒棒糖，而是一块圆形的曲奇饼，上面用不同颜色的糖精画了宝贝的最爱　～ 愤怒鸟系列里的黄色啄木鸟。

宝贝的同班同学兼休息时间的ｇａｎｇ～“晟懿荣轩康”（五位小朋友的名字组成的）里其中的HWX，上个星期曾说过会送每位死党一人一只愤怒鸟的饼干，果然言出必行，今天拿了５块愤怒鸟的曲奇饼来学校。宝贝说这块曲奇很可爱，一会儿说要留给爸爸看，又叫妈咪帮他拍照留念，一会儿又说他不舍得咬“啄木鸟”。

然后他还告诉妈咪，HWX说曲奇饼是上网订购的（我本来还以为是HWX妈妈烘焙的），一块曲奇要５令吉。（哇噻！太贵了吧！）师奶心里在想宝贝这样算不算是无功不受禄，是不是应该回送一些巧克力或什么的小小礼物给HWX？无端端接受人家的RM5愤怒鸟曲奇好像有点于理不合。虽然师奶知道HWX家家境富裕，印象中他爸爸驾的是豪华房车，几百千一辆那一种。而且HWX好像也是家里的独生子，是要风得风、要雨得雨吧！那一天班上庆祝教师节开茶会，HWX的爸爸就赞助了几个“必胜客”的比萨，每位同学都吃得开开心心。

接着承懿还有点洋洋自得地说  : “Mom, you know I have an brilliant idea for our coming 儿童节. I told HWX to buy these Angry Birds cookies. May be I can share with him， 一人出一半。I am sure everyone in the class will be happy. All of us are crazy about Angry Birds!”

哇!你很有钱 hor？这样大手笔买曲奇饼？

“Samson, your idea is good, but it’s too 浪费钱！”

“Why? I have the money, mom.”

“Yes, I know you have money. But you have to use it wisely and rationally…Let’s say you plan to buy 50 cookies for 儿童节。50 X RM5 = RM250. You and HWS each pay RM125 for that…Do you remember张飞，the poor student in China whom dad sponsors his school fees for the past few years?”

“Ya…”

“He just needs RM400 for his fees every year…Your儿童节  Angry Birds cookies already cost RM250.  If we top up another RM150 and make it to RM400, then we can help张飞to continue his schooling for another year. Which one is more worth it? The cookies or the school fees?”

他想了一下 ：”I think should be the school fees.”

“Exactly, Sam…Mommy knows that you like Angry Birds, but there is a limit. Just like mommy likes diamond, 美美的衣服…and dad likes new cars like Merz, but do we buy these things? NO! We have to spend our money wisely, like helping the poor like张飞…or paying for gong-gong medical expenses, you know gong-gong is sick now, right?...Do you understand?”

“Ya, mommy…I think I got you…”

唉!宝贝到底听明白没有真的是不知道。希望可以让他对花钱之前，学习衡量有一点点认识。是不是现在的孩子都是太好命了呢？所以对金钱的概念很模糊。。。

Well 还是有一点点安慰啦，宝贝说他要把“啄木鸟”留给他的胖爹地吃，算是“我对dad的心意”（可怜的妈咪做么没有得到一丁点的“心意”的？）。不过总算他有他爸爸的心啦。（妈咪要sip高枕头想想为什么没有“心意”收了。。。唉！妈咪难为咯！）
