I was scrolling for something interesting on TV when I was interrupted by my mother
Mom : “Regine sucked her thumb today”
Me : “Yeah? I guess I should feel grateful about it.” [press press remote control]
Mom : “Do you know what that means?”
Me : “Uhm… she needs to have a pacifier?” [continue to press remote control]
Mom : “Nooo… It means, she will be very close to her father. It is believed that if a baby first sucks her thumb, she would hold her father as the dearest. If she first sucks the index finger, then it would be her mom. So, for Regine’s case, it’s you”
That piqued my attention. Though the belief may not be scientifically plausible, but I kinda liked the idea of my daughter holding me as her dearest. (and give me lotsss of money when I’m old and broke)
Me : “Wow, I didn’t know there’s such a method to soothsay a baby’s sociality. So, if she were to suck her middle finger, is she going to hold her husband as the dearest?”
Mom : “Heheh, maybe…”
Then what if the baby’s a male, and he first sucks his middle finger? Does that mean that he’s bound to become a homosexual? WHat about the ring finger or pinky? What would that portend? Anyone out there have any idea?
Now we shall wait for Emily to bind all her other fingers away leaving her only her index finger available for sucking. Hehe. Want some duct tape?
Mache… like that also can!
i don’t think i’ve seen a baby sucking the middle finger. LOL
wow…congrats man.. ;)
I thought someone said in his blog earlier this year that he doesn’t want his daughter to be too close to him because he doesn’t want to bring her to the toilet or something… Hmmm… And now all of us here have witnessed such a great turn of events within three months time!!! Fatherhood. Heh.
doc – She already sucked her thumb. It has been decided. ;)
KCB – And you haven’t heard them all yet…
nyonya – Perhaps if you increase your sampling size, you probably will… :)
malcolm – Thanks, I’m thrilled.
titoki – Phordah! Doesn’t mean I’ll have to bring her to the toilet… right?
Never heard of that before. When I was a baby, mum said I roll my tongue and sucked on it. So what did that mean?
My son suck all the fingers except the thumb. hehehe
Wait till Regine start to suck her toes..it means..you’ll have another baby soon!
Hey mike, if you want her to give you big bucks next time, you have to sacrifice a bit for her lah. That includes bringing her to the toilet. Or else next time she has the justification not to take care of you. “hey my old man didn’t even bother to take me to the toilet. he let me poo poo all into my pants. so why should i take care of him now ?”.
primrose – that means, you hold balitongs as your dearest.
sasha – So your Jayden had a hard time to decide who to love most eh? Maybe he’ll become an entertainer someday… a rock star or something… ahaks
arkane – I can bring her to the toilet if that’s all it takes… provided that those shapeshifters and ladies won’t make an issue out of it when they see me inside THEIR restroom…
LOL at michael’s reply to primrose…
is this blog meant to be funny? i can’t stop laughing..lol
Woohoo! My baby sucks her index finger!!! No bluff wan. I have proof in my blog too. But it’s not really true. My cousin brother sucks thumb but he is closer to the mom. He only go to daddy for $$$$. So beware *jeng, jeng, jeng*.
My Regine will sure come to me for $$$, whether I like it or not. Might as well get her to love me in return for those moolah. ;)
