Many many years ago, Mama's maternal grandma once told her a hokkien proverb. Translated, it says when there are many puppies, the Mama dog won't even get to lick the stains of the food. This proverb kind of says if there are too many little puppies in a litter, they will eat all the food available and their mama won't even have food stains to lick.
Sometimes, the amount I eat reminds Mama of this analogy. Today, Papa told Mama that I ate almost half of the bowl of beef noodles Papa bought for his lunch. Thank goodness Papa also bought a bowl of porridge too or else, Papa would have to go hungry.. Cheers! :D
