Went Missing

20 Feb 2011 (Sun):

This story was related to me by Daddy who in turn was related to him by his sister.

Rachel found a $1 gold coin on the floor at the shop & happily, without infoming anyone, went ahead to the uncle selling ice cream on tricycle & bought herself a chocolate ice cream.

LK, together with my ils, realised that Rachel was not anywhere around the shop, started looking for her. LK found her sitting at the pawn shop ( we knew the owner very well as he is always buying stuff for Lionel & Rachel), eating ice cream. She (Rachel) told her how she got the $1 & how she ran to buy the ice cream.

When asked why she did not return to the shop after buying the ice cream, she replied: " Wait u all scold me for eating ice cream & moreover its chocolate". Haha! Smart Alec!

So she quietly sat at the pawn shop eating her ice cream when my sil saw her.

3 spanks on her backside, warning her never to do this again.

When i heard this story, it reminds me of the incident that Rachel "went missing" 2 years ago a day before the eve of CNY. I sternly told Rachel never to play such games again, else the cane is inevitable. She nods her head profusely.
