“Corinne, could their kindergarten teacher mistakenly think this was Bryan’s clothes and let him wear it
back? And it’s only just now we’ve noticed the mistake?” asked Francine.
After thinking about it, Corinne thought it was possible. “Most probably. Let’s have dinner first. We
shouldn’t make Grandpa and Grandma wait,” she said.
“Okay!” replied Francine with a nod. She then reached out her hand to Christine, saying, “Come,
Christine. Let’s go down to have dinner.”
Francine’s voice snapped Christine out of her thoughts. The little girl jumped down from the bed and
followed Francine and Corinne out of the room.

All of her three kids were smarter than their peers, and she did not need to teach them how to use
utensils since they learned it themselves.
However, at that moment, it was like the boy’s fork and knife were fighting with each other. No matter
how much he tried, he could not pick up his food.
Corinne could not help but feel that it was very weird for him to behave like that. She finally opened her

“Mommy, this food is so delicious!”
Corinne’s unhappiness immediately disappeared when she saw how cute ‘Bryan’ looked with his puffy
cheeks stuffed full of food.
Nonetheless, she still said, “Even so, you shouldn’t eat with your hands. Look at your brother and

He loved the food there as well and wished he could eat there every day.
“Sorry, Mommy. I was so hungry just now that I forgot my manners,” he said.
Francine felt sorry for him on account of how pitiful he looked, so she jumped in to defend him, “You
should just let it go, Corinne. He didn’t eat anything at the picnic ’cause all he wanted to do was to look
at the kite. He must be very hungry. Why not just let him eat with his hands since they’re already dirty?
You can always teach him the right manners next time.”
‘She’s right. Bryan must be very hungry since he didn’t eat much just now,’ thought Corinne.
