This afternoon, we went to IMM for lunch and some window shopping. There is a children's playground on the 2nd level which is always crowded, especially on a weekend. We stopped by to let our kids have some fun.

See the red metal bar on the second picture? My girl and I call that thing "Fear Factor" because you have to balance yourself when walking unaided along that bar. But of course, I was by her side in case she lost her balance. So anyway, when we nearly reached the end of that red metal bar, there were two boys blocking the way. Boy A, like a leader, was standing beside Boy B. Boy B was holding out his right clenched fist waiting to play scissors-paper-stone with hmmm..., my girl???

My girl : Excuse me! *her hands signalling the boy to move away*
Boy A : No cannot! Must play scissors-paper-stone first with him *pointing to Boy B*
My girl : Hah???!!! *puzzled*
Me : What happens if she wins? *more puzzled*
Boy A : Then she can become the King and stand here.

THE KING?!!! We burst out laughing! That's so funny! I couldn't stop laughing. Hubby and my boy joined us at exactly the same time to join us in laughter. So my girl played a round of scissors-paper-stone with Boy B and she won. Then she took her position as the King. Wahaha.

Apparently, this game is well known with the rest of the children because the next one who came near the end of "Fear Factor" will automatically play scissors-paper-stone with the King.

Everytime she won, we cheered for her while laughing our ass off. We were the craziest parent there. My dear girl became the King for like a minute before giving up the throne to the next winner. The games kids play nowadays are beyond our imagination!!!
