... BK's kids meal and fatherhood.

One thing I learnt the other day is that kid's meal menu is really-really small.


My in-law reached Singapore at noon time last Saturday. Since I need to fetch them from the airport, I decided to have my lunch there. With a spirit of dieting, I ordered *surprise-surprise* BK Chicken Tender Kids Meal. The uncle looked at me with eye big-big and smile wide-wide that made me wonder why. Then the meal is served and reality struck me :(. The portion is so small (Duh!), consist of tiny pack of fries, amazingly thin chunks of chicken, and unbelieveably small cups of Coke. Good thing that it came with a plastic toy :). Oh boy, so use to the "up-sized" meals, I wondered if this can last me long enough until they landed. I think BK really underestimate "medium-sized" boy like me.

Now you may start to wonder what the fatherhood has to do with BK Kids Meal. Not to mention that why on earth this Panda talk about fatherhood in his blog. For start you usually are with kids when you pick kid's meal from the menu. And second, well, it has actually nothing to do with the meal except that the tought of it came through my mind after I finished my lunch.

While waiting in front of the arrival gate I noticed one kid that was so annoying that made her cute. The litle girl run around the gate, happily, being chased by her Mom and *from what it looks like* the Nanny. Both her Mom and the Nanny are hopelessly trying to calm her down, but she keep on yelling, laughing and running around at the same time. Apparently they are waiting for the father of this girl. When the belt started to run, and some people walked down the stair to collect their luggage, the girl start to yell "Papa Papa Papa ..." even when her dad was no where in sight. When he eventually out of the gate, the girl make a quick dash around and literally flew to her father arms.

I couldn't help to feel envy at him. It must be an out of the world experience receiving such a welcome hug! Hmmm .. probably fatherhood is indeed a joy after all :) ... (or was that my biological clock went hay wire??)
