A Pretty Boy

Jerry often expresses his wish to pretend to be a girl.... For example, he doesn't like to cut his hair too short because he wants to grow it long like a girl's; or he likes the color pink more than any other color and likes pretty things (used to have a thing for Disney princesses). We are not too concerned with this expression for now, because it doesn't appear that he acts in a particularly effeminate manner. We often have conversations with him to persuade him to appreciate being a boy.

So, last night, during one of these conversations with Kelvin, he asks Jerry why he wants to be a girl. He says it's because girls are "leng" (good-looking). Kelvin defended boys and said that boys are also good-looking, using himself as an example. Jerry HAD to agree that his dad was also good-looking.... He also agreed that he will be "leng jai" so that many girls will chase after him. He would choose the prettiest girl out of the group and she will also be rich. He will give her all the money in his piggybank and have more kids than us. He doesn't want just 2...he wants 10 or even 100 kids and he told Kelvin, seriously, that there will be 100 grandchildren calling him yeh yeh.
