one of those conversations...

me: I think children need to be taught how to read situations.
em: Ya...
me: Right? It's important. You need to know what's OK to do in different social situations.
em: Ya, they need to learn that it's wrong to play PSP when their girlfriend is around... they must not do that.

me: Ya, that's one. Well, if you don't know how to read social context and cannot socialise properly with people, it's like... going to a funeral and cracking a joke about the deceased there. It's wrong, it's inappropriate.
em: ...But, I do go to weddings and make jokes there.
me: That's different. Weddings are where two persons make the mistake of being together for the rest of their lives and still try to celebrate it. So, it's ok cos it's a joke by itself, already.

me: I don't want to have a child. It's stressful, you know. At my age, when I'm that old, I don't want to be stressed with a kid.
em: Ya, me too. I don't want to be stressed with your stress.

me: (touches wood) If we ever have a child, you'd better not interfere in my disciplining him.
em: No, I won't. I won't do anything, not even anything.
me: Ya, you'd better not...
em: I will just stay away... just inform me when the child has grown up.

me: You won't do anything at all, right?
em: Ya.
me: I will just inform you when it's time for you to start paying for his Masters education, ok?

me: It's so difficult to get married... your parents, my parents... I think we'd better not get married lah...
em: ...
me: You keep your parents to yourself; I keep my parents to myself. No need to share. Simple!

me: You have to manage your mum's expectations.
em: Wah, difficult lah...
me: Ok, in that case, I will manage her for you. I will talk to her, ok?
em: Ya, ok! Virgo versus virgo.
me: You really want to see World War III eh?
