Hello, what’s this?
“Wan Chai” came home
The Miss has a large menagerie and exotic zoo of stuffed animals, not to mention a collection of stuffed toy cats named “Cat”. This one however is named “Wan Chai” after a friend’s rescued cat (yes, from Wan Chai) who goes by the same name, just because the real cat really does look like this toy.
The Miss has a current habit of taking her stuff out of their storage places and well, leaving things around – which is how Wan Chai got left in Margaret River in a swathe of blankets. He’s quite easily replaceable, as most kiddie items should be (because otherwise you are really setting yourself up for heartbreak and heartburn.) However, the nice people who rented us the place (yes, and who have Hongkie neighbours in the next ulu holiday home) emailed wanting to send the cat back.
And so we told the Miss what really happened (because otherwise we’d just leave her to forget haha) This had the unexpected effect, bearing in mind the Miss can say just about anything, of Wan Chai finding its way into conversations:
Miss: Mum! <running around brandishing air pistols> Ko-ko and I shot all the aliens! Wan Chai was watching from Heaven!
Rockstar: Wait, what -?
Miss: Hissa angel. <beams>
(Rockstar roars with laughter)
So nice of them to send Wan Chai home. Wan Chai seems to be looking straight at the camera and smiling as Miss Rockstar hugs him in the photo above.
