Millionaires' Club

A few days back, we were dropping Tai Pi off at the exam centre where she was to take her PSLE Oral Exam, but we were early so we went for a drive around a posh neighbourhood close by. As we drove past the big bungalows with their collection of luxury cars, we told Tai Pi this is where the super rich people live. She asked us innocently, "Is this where the PAP people live since they earn millions?" I burst out laughing while KK accused me of planting subversive ideas into our children's heads. All I did was tell the girls how well paid our leaders are, how many times more they are earning compared to US President Obama; it's not my fault if even children can see the absurdity of it.
