月亮代表我的心 (The Moon Represents My Heart)

My eldest son, almost six years old, loves music. And his latest favorite song is by Teresa Teng. Well, OK, I like it too.



Good thing we're sending him to Mandarin lessons. Maybe he can exposit the song to me soon. ;)

At the Chinese restaurant tonight, they must have been playing one of her Greatest Hits albums because the song came on a couple times. Each time he excitedly asked, "Daddy ask the waiter to turn it up!"

"Take On Me"

This is hilarious. I actually remember this song by A-Ha but still have no clue what the song was actually about. Just remember the music video was so cool and the girl was pretty.

Temptation

Temptation is so subtle.

We all were at Serramonte Shopping Center yesterday- my wife took M to his piano lesson. Little G and I went to Target to get some necessities after he kindly asked for a quick detour to the Disney store. As an aside, I'm quite pleased that my sons have been trained such that we can go to the Disney store without asking to buy anything. Anyways...

Outside of the mall entrance to Target is a McDonald's. Little G said he was hungry, so I happily obliged and got him a Happy Meal. (Tip: Sub the french fries with fresh fruit.) The toy for boys now is Lego Batman. The offered us the Joker Helicoptor or Batman Batboat to which G chose the Helicoptor since they already had the Batboat.

As we settled down to eat, lo and behold, there was a Batboat in the bag! See, G took the helicoptor right away when they let him choose the toy. Whoever bagged the order wasn't aware and put in the toy as usual.

Sad to say, but my initial reaction was not to return the toy. Rather I was glad we got a 2nd toy for free! Then I realized how easy it was to fall into temptation and commit sin right in front of my son.

As G ate, I talked to him about how we would return the 2nd toy because we didn't pay for it. At first he wanted to keep it, just as I did, but as we walked up to the counter he repeated a couple times to himself, "we can't keep it because we didn't pay for it" and he was happy to return it. The girl at the counter was quite shocked and she even offered to let us keep it!

Thank You Lord for guarding our steps.
