I went with my mum to the NTUC today. She wanted to buy detergent. It so happens that there was a particular brand of detergent that she fancies.
You see, this particular brand whole range constitute of 3 types. 1 for Colour, 1 for Anti-bacterial and 1 for Super-White.
So I pointed to the 3rd one and ask my mum what is that for. Since we are conversing in chinese, my mum then said "super white" in chinese and matter-of-factly. Her pronunciation is not so accurate I guess... and I burst into laughter there and then. I swore that even the NTUC assistant who was pasting price tag along the same aisle as us sniggered at the faux pas.
My mum didn't get it the first time round (surprisingly, being a hokkien and all.) So I got the whole family together who had already wandered off and asked my mum again. She said it again and this time round, my bro, sis and myself roared with laughter. Even my dad couldn't help but smiled stoically.
A well-deserved family moment it is!~ Never thought grocery shopping can be fun.
