I was called 'AUNTY' twice in two consecutive days. 'Lei war sei mm sei'. Mind you those two people are not kids. If kids, I don't mind lar. They are in the early twenties or late teen, I guess.
The first time happended on Saturday. I just shrugged it off thinking that I heard it wrongly. But, the second time was loud and clear. I was at Jusco checking out the price of MamyPoko and this sales girl told me there's a discount, etc. etc. I said 'Ok, I will take one packet'. Then right before I leave that place, she said 'AUNTY, CAN YOU FILL UP THIS FORM?'. What the he*k.....If you want to be polite, just call 'MISS' lar. My heart was cursing but still managed to put up a smile and 'guai guai' fill up the bl**dy form. After that, I told hubby, 'She called me AUNTY' wor. No comments from hubby, just a smile.

hahaha! i am so used to be called aunty in ashley's school!!but i don't think i would ever feel comfy in public places like mall! maybe another 10 years or so!!
that's why lar...luckily there were no other people around in that isle when it happened.
if she ever called me aunty before i took the packet, I would definitely leave empty handed.
Alamak! HAha but normal la..If got kid sure kena edi .
Eh i kena many times ok....:)
Sasha,
I hope I 'kena' bcoz I have kids and not that I look old (pretty worried). But slowly, later, somehow, I will learn to accept this.
Wei...my case lagi teruk. These kids around my house (KL) called me aunty and called my hubs kor kor. U say teruk or not... *slap slap head* No angpow from me this coming CNY for sure!! :(
no worries, you are not the only 1.
i kena also and sometimes by OLDER people! can u believe that???! what the..!
Husband tried comforting me by saying that for some people, that's the way to show respect; by calling us by a certain "older" title. but AUNTY??!
etc-mom,
hahahahaha...that's a big blow. you sure don't deserve this and yes, i agree-no ang pow for them this year
jazzmint,
phew! so, it's normal lar?
babybooned,
i thought you should only address a person as 'aunty' if she is much much older than you. arghhhh...how can you address someone younger than you as 'aunty'? i still don't get it.
hubs always laughed at me when ppl called me "aunty" and yes...i'm getting used to it already..haha..don't worry...u still looked young. I guess she called u aunty because u are already a "mother", not that u looked old...
baby darren,

lemonjude,
maybe by 40, i will get used to it lar...
suddenly i remember an incident when i was fetching my daughter from the nursery. one of the lil' boys asked me, "auntie, why are you still wearing a batman t-shirt?..kita pun ada satu tau!"..;-P
...haha..you know me lah..mummy yg rugged who also happens to be a comic freak...bila that boy cakap mcm tu, baru la i perasan yg i am dah tua..(psstt..kalau la that boy nampak my batman & wolverine figures...)..heheh
kakakaka! that boy must be thinking that this aunty steal the t-shirt from her daughter.
oh, i remember those little figurines on your pc and the poster too.
