Matt and I had a nice conversation on the phone this afternoon. Which is rare cos our great convos usually take place in person or on Skype. I was at Cafe O for my all-day breakie & called the boy while he was chilling on his own in Starbucks.
We chatted like we normally would when we are physically together with random comments here and there. I would people-watch and tell him what a hideous pair of boots I just saw and how this toddler whose mum is Chinese and dad Caucasian looks more Caucasian than Asian.
Since we just gotten together, Matt has told me his theory that the children would always look more like their mothers, which I don’t agree and Saraid had a very good theory about the whole X and Y chromosomes and stuff.
And Matt and I would always notice mixed-race children when they’re with their parents and observe who they look like more whenever we are out.
So I told Matt, “See? The little boy looks more like his dad.” Matt replied, “We’ll soon find out about ours!”
After he said that, my heart went all mush but I didn’t admit it and said instead, “Erm no, not soon?” And Matt was like, “Oh yes, not soon, yes.”
It feels very loved when you know the man you love wants you to be the mother of his kids – definitely a first for me. :)
And with much amusement, I recalled my mum’s first reaction when I told her I was dating a Caucasian. She couldn’t stop laughing and I was like ‘what the hell’ right and she finally stopped her giggling (yes, my mum still giggles at her age!) and said, “Hehe, I’m gonna have beautiful grandchildren from you then.”
I was totally like O_o! Hello mother! I just started seeing him! Parents sometimes. Scary.
Anyhow, mixed-race kids don’t necessarily turn out good-looking all the time anyway. There are always a few ‘suay’ cases. hahahaahaha
