The day that Max was back, we decided to over to sakae sushi to have a sushi meal since the jap food in dubai sucks and Ace hasn't been eating sushi for a long long while...
Because the one in tampines was closed for renovation the last time I went, I didn't want to take the risk and go home disappointed and so we went to the one in Simei...
After a satisfying meal, we decided to go walk walk in Popular bookstore which was just nearby. In the bookstore, we saw the whole Mr Men Series and Max told Ace that he would buy him three books from the series.
We got Ace to read out all the titles at the back and find the books that he might be interested in... he picked out Mr Silly, Mr Funny, Mr Good, Mr Noisy, Mr Chatterbox, Mr Cool..
And then Max laid them out and asked him to choose three... He immediately took Mr Cool and Mr Good without much thinking and then contemplated between Mr Silly and Mr Funny.. so we sort of explained to him what is the difference between silly and funny and he chose Mr Funny...
I realized though that the books his chose are actually aspects of his character that he would like to work on or things he would want himself to be. He wants to be cool because he thinks it will get him to be accepted or maybe even admired by his friends... He perpetually wants to be good (and even contemplated whether he should cut his head open and change a brain so that he can be good and think good thoughts) and of cos, as he always says, he likes to be funny because he likes to make people laugh :P
