grandma wanted to bring iggie along on a car ride to pick GongGong from the service centre where he drove the car to.
to entice iggie to come along, grandma showed him a street directory and told him "from thomson road, we will travel on this road and turn right and go to this other road and then turn left and find this red building. can you help me read this map and guide me so that we can pick GongGong up?"
iggie eagerly agreed ... and hopped on the car with the street directory opened up on thomson road on his lap.
so grandma started the car and asked iggie "are you ready?"
iggie looked at grandma and replied "iggie doesnt know how to get to thomson road"
grandma laughed and said "ok - i drive you to thomson road then you guide me from there? is that alright?"
iggie smiled and said "ok!"
while driving, grandma asked "iggie, next time when you go hong kong you will go to school and will meet new friends and learn to read"
iggie replied "iggie doesnt want to go to school, iggie doesnt want to learn to read"
a surprised grandma said "you need to learn to read"
iggie asked innocently "why?"
grandma replied "so that you can find a job and work to earn money"
iggie replied happily "iggie will drive the train, iggie can read the map"
a shocked grandma took a 1 min, laughed and said "yes iggie, even if you want to be a train master, you need to read the map and read the signs....."
iggie looked at the street directory on his lap, paused and said "iggie can read the map"

Kids are kids are kids. They never fail to amaze you with their answers. Remember, when my brother was young, he used to aspire to be a money collector.
ha ha ha!! money collector?!! that is good! at least he knows that collector's job can be high class (banking job!!) ...
my little iggie wants just to drive the train .. he doesnt even want the train master's job or the train engineer ... just the train driver!!!
