"Mama! Let''s swim! Swim!" Little Snow exclaimed as he

    "Swim?" Shi Enxi blinked a few times in confusion. What made him suddenly want to go for a swim?

    She turned to Little Jade and saw him busy on watching Finding Nemo on the big TV screen.

    "Oh..." So that''s where he got the idea.

    "Mama! Swim! Swim! And let''s eat fishes!"

    "..." She turned to her son and raised a brow, "Are you going to be a shark?"

    Little Snow nodded adorably, "Yes! Shark! Grrrrr!" He even growled cutely at her.

    Shi Enxi couldn''t help but let out a laugh. She picked him up and carried him in her arms before she walked towards Little Jade who was so focused on watching the movie. "Baby, do you want to go swimming after this?" She asked as she sat beside the boy and let Little Snow sit on her l.a.p.

    "No." The boy replied, his eyes locked on the screen.

    Little Snow ended up gasping out loud as he asked, "What?! Why?!"

    "Xiao Xue will eat all the fishes." He pursed his lips and crossed his arms.

    "But fish is yummy!"

    Shi Enxi cleared her throat to steal their attention, "Not all fishes are edible, Xue''er."

    "Ehhh?"

    Little Jade turned to his mother and with a serious look on his face, he said, "Mama, Xiao Yu will not eat fish anymore."

    "Pfft." Lu Mello who entered and what the boy said, covered his mouth to stop himself from laughing out loud.

    "Dada, nothing''s funny." Little Jade scolded. He even crossed his arms and was looking at his father with a serious look. "Xiao Yu will not eat animals."

    "Even chicken and beef?" She asked, a smile on her face. Shi Enxi was amused by her son''s sudden decision to become a vegetarian.

    "Gege! Chicken! Beef! Yummy!" Little Snow said in defense. "Yummy yum yum! Gege can''t stop eating chicken and beef!"

    "Mama Yaoyao said veggies and fruit are healthy. Xiao Yu likes veggies and fruits. Animals have a family. If Xiao Yu eat chicken, the baby chicken will cry. If Xiao Yu eat beef, baby beef will cry."

    Lu Mello: "..."

    Shi Enxi: "..."

    The two grownups didn''t know whether to cry or laugh upon hearing what their son said.

    "But chicken and beef are for eating!!!" Little Snow retorted. He was not going to throw away the opportunity to eat delicious food.

    For the first time, the two boys ended up arguing. They were glaring at each other and were having a debate over what food to eat.

    "Chicken and beef yum yum!"

    "No! They are not for eating!"

    "Yes, they are!"

    "No, they''re not!"

    "Yes they are"

    "No!"

    "Yes!"

    "No! No! No!"

    "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

    "MAMAAAA!!!!"

    "DADAAAA!!!!"

    The boys ended up turning to their parents to ask for help.

    Lu Mello: "..."

    Shi Enxi: "..."

    Their parents were in a dilemma and the kids were staring at them so intensely.

    Lu Mello cleared his throat and finally spoke up about the matter. He decided to give them a safe answer, "I think we should just respect each other''s preferences."

    "Prefewenwes?" The two boys asked at the same time, tilting their heads on the side as they looked at him, confused. They still have a lot of words to learn after all.

    The man cleared his throat and explained, "Preference means likes. Everyone has their likes, their taste and we should respect that." He turned to Little Snow as he further discussed, "Xiao Xue, not everyone eats meat. There-"

    "WHY NOT?!!" He gasped out, interfering his father with the question. "Meat is yummy daddy!"

    "Yes, I agree." Shi Enxi nodded her head. "Meat is rich in protein. The human body needs protein. I don''t understand why there are people who prefer eating grasses when there is plenty of delicious food like meat out there."

    "As I said, we should respect what they want to eat. Vegetarians get their proteins from beans and-"

    "You see?! Veggies have what meat have too!" This time, it was Little Jade who interrupted his father. He even jumped down from the sofa just to go and stand at his father''s side. "Killing animals and eating them is bad!"

    "Yu''er, it''s normal. We have a process called ''food chain''. Strong animals eat weak animals. Weak animals eat grasses."

    Little Snow kept nodding his head as his mother was saying those words even though he didn''t understand everything she said. He just knew that his mother was taking his side. "Yeah!" He even exclaimed in agreement.

    Little Jade crossed his arms at the same time his father crossed his arms. He even puffed out his c.h.e.s.t before he looked up at his father, waiting for him to say something in defense.

    "That''s not true. Not all herbivores are weak. Elephants are not weak and so are rhinos. There are plenty of herbivores that can overthrow carnivores."

    This time, the two little boys were looking at their parents in confusion as they began hearing words that they have yet to learn as their parents argued.

    Luckily, a knock interrupted the two a.d.u.l.ts, and a maid''s voice was heard outside as she announced, "Master, Madam, it''s time for lunch."

    Little Snow jumped off from his mother''s l.a.p and ran towards his brother. He held his hand and grin, "Let''s go gege!"

    Little Jade nodded and they both rushed towards the door, leaving their parents behind.

    Shi Enxi and Lu Mello ended up looking at the kids as they left before they faced each other once again.

    "So... I guess that argument is over?" He asked, chuckling a bit as he scratched his nape lightly.

    "I think so..." She replied with a chuckle. Shi Enxi stood up and clung to her husband''s arm.

    "I can see how much Xiao Xue takes after you, especially for your love of food. It''s just... he eats more than you do."

    "He''s a growing child, let him be." She grinned.

    "Are you sure that you want to give Xiao Yu to Huang Li and Xiao Yao?" Lu Mello suddenly asked which made his wife stay still on the ground. He stopped as well just to look at her.
