My Mum has always complained that I wet the floor too much whenever I mop it and that might cause her to slip (which never happened). So I decided to get my hands dirty and made this sign with whatever materials I found at the back of the house. I asked Mum to write the word of ‘wet’ in Chinese for me without telling her why I wanted it for. When this sign was done Dad saw it and commented that the right Chinese word should have been ‘slippery’ instead of ‘wet’. I argued that it was supposed to be a warning that the floor was wet and that we should walk slowly, thus the snail picture. Then Dad replied, “Snails love wet places even more”. I do not know if his statement about snails was relevant to the topic we were arguing on but I thought it was funny and it cracked me up
