Rey and I were reading a book when we can across this.
Me: Rambutans!
Rey: it's so spiky!
Me: When daddy was young we had 3 rambutan trees at home and daddy ate a lot
Rey: Don't eat too much daddy! You'll get sick!
I started laughing out loud because she was right. When I was about 9 or so I picked a big bag of rambutans and removed all the skin and seeds and cooled them in the fridge. Then I ate all of them. A few hours later I had the worst stomachach in my life! ( at the time). I had to see my GP, Dr Wong. He said I ate too fast. " xia ka ke wo" (foochow). My mother said it was an euphemism for " ate too much."
Update 26 Mar 2020
I helped Rey she used toilet. She wiped herself and got dressed and washed her hands.
I said " you are a smart girl Rey, smarter than daddy when he was young.
Rey : When daddy young you ate a lot of rambutans !
Me: yes and I got sick. I'll get some rambutans for you next time.
Rey: I'll only eat a little bit.
