materialisic world

I remember reading on Yone's blog about little material girls conversation that she overheard when she was at the pool. I couldn't link to her post directly, but it's titled as 'Kids Say the Darnest Things' in here.

Last night, I'd overheard about the same conversation...

I was waiting for my yoga class to start at Likas Sports Center, then there were two boys who just finished their badminton practice. From their conversation, they're about 10-11 years old. Boys being boys, they really do know how to make small talk... At first they were talking about where they go to school and how old they are. Then they moved to asking what does their dads do for a living, then to something else...

Boy 1: Bapa kau drive pegi sini?
Boy 2: Iya.
Boy 1: Kamu drive kereta apa?
Boy 2: Hmmmm. Wira. Kamu?
Boy 1: Kancil.
Boy 2: Ohhhh.. Berapa harga kereta kau tu?
Boy 1: Hmmmm.... *Thinking*
Boy 2: 20 puluh ribu lebih?
Boy 1: Tidaklah.. itu kancil. Wira 40 ribu lebih...
Boy 2: Kamu ada berapa kereta?
Boy 1: Dua. Kamu? (I'm sure here he was saying what is the other car, but can't recall).
Boy 2: Dua juga. Satu lagi Isuzu.
Boy 1: OOhhh Isuzu. Berapa harga Isuzu tu?

................

Then the comparison about who is richer and mightier went on for another 5 minutes before the dad finally came to pick up one of the kids....

Hmmmmm. So you think kids nowadays are soooo in their materialistic world?

Psssst: Now this material girl is asking, what car do you drive and how much does it cost? Hehehehhe.......
