Keen observer

So we're on the roundabout just outside our compound, on our way to the mall (where else) to collect Sera's little craft she did last week. As usual, I'm having my usual conversation with Sera about the 'scenery' around us. We're still on the roundabout (yeah, it's the biggest one in Dubai) and there's a standstill due to bottleneck in front of us. I notice a police car a few cars from our left and asked Sera to spot it. She enthusiastically spots it and is excited when the two cars are side by side. She leans towards the window to check out the policemen. I'm driving, concentrating on getting us out of the jam when she suddenly exclaims, "Mama ... looooook, the policeman is digging his nooseeeeeeeee!".

Great .... I thought to myself. So much for trying to instil a 'no picking nose' habit, but worse still, a policeman was having a field day doing it. Hmmm ...

And together with Sera, we say, "GROSSSSSSS!"


We make it to Cafe Ceramique, eventually, to collect her turtle, which she proudly named 'Poppy'.
