Hello Kitty is...Disney?
So...here's something funny that happened between my mum and I this morning while discussing Christmas gifts for our family friends.One of my mum's friend has a 7 year old daughter and she wanted to get her a gift from Toys R Us.
Here's what happened...
Me: Do you know what she likes?
Mum: That Disney cat...what's the name again..?
Me: *struggles to remember Disney cat characters*
Mum: Oh I remember now! Hello Kitty!
And as if that wasn't enough...we entered into another discussion about the other Disney characters. Disney princesses...to be exact.
Mum: I like that Indian princess..
Me: Indian?
Mum: You know...the one with the genie.
Me: ...
Yeah...she's not being racist...she's just not Disney-educated. And for those of you who don't know, she's talking about JASMINE from ALADDIN. And for those who are just as Disney-ignorant as my mum, Jasmine is ARABIAN. Okay...to be honest...Jasmine is NEITHER because she comes from a fictional city. It's hard to tell what nationality she really is. Something more like a mix between Persian and Arabian cultures. Her name however, is mostly Arabic.
Plus, the tale ALADDIN is from the Arabian Nights AND Jasmine is the daughter of a SULTAN (an arabian word for ruler).

Furthermore...
Me: I want to watch Sinbad again too...
Mum: That's a really good story. It shows how parents can sacrifice anything for their kids.
Me: What...?
Mum: You know, when lion father rescued his son but died.
Me: ...that's Lion King.
Mum: You said Simba
So we're all prone to such mistakes...not really. But it was quite a funny breakfast I had with my mum. Ahh I love her. Especially since we have these language barrier things.
Speaking of Lion King though...that reminds me of the time Cinney and I reenacted that exact Lion King scene on the park slide LOL.
Me (as Mufasa): Save me Scar!
Cinney (as Scar): Hahaha Mufasa, I'm going to take your wife..no wait, you're throne!
Yes...another one of her cute fail moments xD
