The Day My Real Estate Empire Rose and Crumbled (Literally)

image 1Listen, I’ve officially entered the property market. After months of living in a standard-issue crib, I decided it was time for an upgrade. Baba and I spent an entire afternoon—from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM—constructing a literal house on top of my bed. It was glorious. I immediately moved all my high-value assets (my favorite toys) into the new premises. According to child development experts, having a personalized sleep space is supposed to help with independence. I wasn’t looking for independence; I was looking for a fortress.

Matcha, Books, and Broken Promises

image 2Yesterday was… complicated. Mommy has been pulling these late-night shifts lately—she even left her bike at the office once! Does she not realize I have a schedule? Since she was MIA, Baba took me to the supermarket. I scored some matcha bread (green bread is clearly superior) and spent some quality time at the bookstore. For dinner, we had hủ tiếu gõ and something called “fatty pork chop rice without the fat.” Honestly, the naming convention in this family is confusing. If it’s fatless, why call it fatty? It’s false advertising, and I’m considering legal action.

  • Matcha bread: 10/10
  • Bookstore vibes: Excellent
  • Mom’s attendance record: Needs improvement
  • Pork chop logic: 0/10

The Midnight Meltdown

image 3Usually, I grace the “Big Bed” with my presence, but last night I had a bold idea: I would sleep in my new house. Mommy was a bit cranky (probably because she misses me when she’s at work), and things were tense. I was drifting off, probably talking about matcha in my sleep, when Baba decided he needed to intervene. He wanted to move me back to the big bed to “help me sleep faster” or “keep Mom warm”—typical adult excuses. I stood my ground. I cried. I exercised my rights as a homeowner! And then… things went dark. Baba lost his cool and partially demolished my house. My architectural masterpiece! Ruined! Mommy and I fled the scene for five minutes to let the dust settle. When we came back, we slept in the wreckage. It was very post-apocalyptic.

The Morning Mystery

Here is the weird part: I woke up this morning, and I was in the big bed. How? I clearly remember falling asleep in the ruins of my estate. Did I sleepwalk? Was I teleported? Or was the whole thing a fever dream brought on by too much matcha bread? I’m starting to suspect that adults have secret powers for moving sleeping toddlers without triggering their internal alarms. Either way, my house is a fixer-upper now, and I’m going to need a much larger snack budget to deal with the trauma. If you’re interested in why toddlers have these nighttime power struggles, this article on nighttime tantrums explains it, though it fails to mention the demolition of real estate.

Original: Cuối tuần rồi baba đã làm một ngôi nhà trên chiếc nôi của sudo.

Ngôi nhà được baba và sudo làm hết một buổi chiều, từ 5h chiều đến 9h tối luôn. Thật tuyệt vời. Sudo rất thích chơi trên ngôi nhà mới, sudo đã đem tất cả đồ chơi mà sudo yêu quý nhất để đem lên giường nữa.

Tối hôm qua thật là tồi tệ với sudo. Sudo đã đi chơi siêu thị, mua bánh mì matcha và chơi nhà sách với baba vì mẹ phải đi công việc tới khuya mới về. Lúc này mẹ đi về trễ nhiều lần ghê, có bữa còn bỏ xe trên cty nữa 😐 . Thế là sudo ở nhà với baba, đi ăn hủ tiếu gõ, cơm sườn mỡ không có mỡ. hmm. Tối qua như thường lệ, sudo định ngủ trên giường lớn thì chợt loé lên một ý định táo bạo: Hay là sudo xuống nhà mới ngủ nhỉ? hmm, thế là mẹ đồng ý. Và mẹ đã nỗi giận với sudo một vài lần cho đến khi sudo sắp ngủ.. sudo chỉ nói mớ vài câu thế là baba xuống, chắc là baba định giúp sudo lên giường lớn ngủ cho lẹ, mẹ cũng đỡ lạnh nhưng sudo không chịu, sudo khóc. Baba nỗi giận lên, đập phá cái nhà của sudo, sudo khóc. huhu. Mẹ và sudo chạy ra ngoài. 5p sau mẹ và sudo vào nhà đã bị sập ngủ tiếp. Sáng sớm thức dậy thì sudo đã thấy mình nằm trên giường lớn. hmm, sao vậy nhỉ? hay là mình nằm mơ?
