Some conversation while walking in the national park in Penang yesterday:
We see bamboo
Rahul: Mum, in Minecraft it’s so easy to grow bamboo!
Me, laughing: In real life too!
R: You know there’s a new Minecraft, very expensive, that uses google maps and you can build wherever you go.
Me: Really?! Wow, that’s amazing.
R : Come on Leila, hurry up.
Me: There’s no hurry, we have no where else to be. Meditate Rahul!
R, really frustrated: Meditating is the worst thing on earth!
R: You know now in Minecraft there are about 12-16 trees. Before there was only oak.

At a restaurant today:
L: Mum, do you get undrunk if you drink tea?
R: No, milk can make you undrunk.
Me: Ah come on you guys, milk doesn’t work.
L: That’s in Minecraft Rahul!
R: Yeah, and you have to milk the cow to get milk.
Me: Do people get drunk in Minecraft??!!!!!
L: It’s more like magical potions….
