The Bane of Digital Age

We have seen how kiasu Singaporean parents can get. Yesterday, we were kind of flabbergasted. We were having our dinner at the Marina Square foodcourt and a family with their maid in tow, were waiting rather impatiently for a table. When they got a seat, in front of us, the mother said to her son, "Okay, time to eat" and dished out from her a bag....a portable television/dvd/vcd player!

TS said, "At least it is educational."

But that's not the point. She probably thought she is quite smart to have this idea to keep her four-year-old occupied whilst having dinner. Whatever happens to inculcating values and family eating time?
