Bits of Thought

Questioning

It was a cold night, so Hilary decided to light up some fires under the chimney when her 4 year old son came at her with a serious look. He grabbed the edge of her long cream blouse and gave a small pull to grab her attention.

"Mommy?" her son's voice was unusually deep and serious.

Hilary tried to ignore the sudden change in the tone of voice and replied normally "Yes?"

Gou stared at her mother; his ruby orbs met hers. 'Well, he sure sounded and looked serious,' Hilary thought.

"How much do you love dad?"

Hilary paused. She took a seat on the couch behind her, and then tapped the seat beside her, signalling her son to sit down – which he obediently did. "Why do you ask?"

The little blue-haired boy pondered a while. "I love you and dad sooooo… much, so I just wanted to know how much you love each other." He tried reasoning as best as he could.

"Really? Then how much do you really love me and dad?" Hilary reversed the question.

Gou paused. He then opened both his hands to his side, opening both of them wide. "This much?"

Hilary chuckled. "Well, I love your dad more than that…"

"This much?" he asked, trying to stretch his hands further apart. Hilary shook his head slowly "Much more"

Gou put his hands down; tired. "Just how much?" his face slightly annoyed.

"Let's just say you can't measure it" Hilary explained. Gou however produced a confused look.

"What's going on here?" a voice suddenly butt in. Into the living room Kai appeared, with a towel on his head and hair still dripping wet; he just got out of the showers.

Seeing his father, Gou jumped from the couch and made his way to Kai. "Dad?"

Kai knelt down to the level of his son. "Hn?"

"How much do you love mom?" Gou asked, still somehow in his confused face.

Kai slightly surprised, but then he asked "That was what you were asking your mom?"

The little boy nodded.

"Okay, what did your mom say?" Kai asked again, with a small glance towards his wife.

Gou gave a long pause. "Mommy said that it cannot be mea… measured!" he exclaimed.

Kai almost laugh. He put a hand on his son's head and rubbed through his messy hair. "Then I love your mother much, much more than that." He remarked, with a soft smile; eyes true to his words.

Gou gave another puzzled look, which then turned to annoyance. Both Hilary and Kai laughed at his son's reaction.

That night when they tucked Gou in bed, they heard Gou mumbling on how he won't ask questions at his parents anymore. Both of them gave another laugh; they seemed to have won the questioning this time.

Fin.
