Kawin

Yesterday we went to stock up our larder at Tesco. As usual, both of them wanted to ride inside the cart. As usual when Dan and I left them in the cart for a quick grab of grocery, they started their acting.

" ( mock wailing ) Please don't leave me !! Mummy !! Babah !! Please don't leave us !! Wa......! " As usual some people will stop to look and stare, thinking they are for real.... Hmm....

When we got home as Dan and I were putting our shopping away, Umar told me to hurry up. He wanted to watch me play Sonic. I told him to go up into his room first and I will be with him shortly.

After a few minutes, I noticed that he was still in the kitchen, waiting patiently for me.

Mummy : Umar pergilah naik atas dulu.

Umar : It's okay Mum. I will wait for you.

Mummy : Tak pe lah. It is better if you go up first and prepare for bed or something.

Umar : No mummy. I want to wait for you.

Mummy : Why ?

Umar : I like you Mummy, that is why.

Mummy : ( smiled ) That is a very nice thing to say Umar. Thank you. But I have to do other stuffs first and it might take awhile.

Umar : It's okay. I will just watch you Mum. I just want to be with you. Is that okay ?

Dan looked at me as my eyes went misty. I hugged him.

Mummy : You will make a fine husband one day, sweety. I am sure of it...

Later that night, as we were waiting for sleep to come, he said,

Umar : Harith kan dah darjah 5 kan Mum. So lepas ni dia kawin kan...

Abah yang tengah pakai baju berhenti untuk tengok dia.

Mummy : What ?

Umar : Lepas habis semua darjah - darjah kan, kawin lah !! Harith dah darjah 5 so lepas ni kawin. Umar lambat lagi sebab baru darjah satu...

Mummy : Ermm.... lepas darjah - darjah semua is big school like Mamu Jat. Tapi lepas tu is doctor's school if you are lucky.

Umar : Lepas tu baru kawin ?

Mummy : Ermm... well I don't mind if you want to kawin while in doctor's school, but not before.....

Umar : Okay.... ( and blushed )

Mummy : Do you have a girlfriend Umar ? ( my sisters memang tak bagi langsung I tanya that question because he will usually cry, but I just can't help but to satisfy my curiousity ).

Umar : Mummy !!!

He he...

We watched the telly some more and he suddenly informed me in a very authoritative voice that mummy penguins will vomit food into their babies mouth to feed them. No suckling of breasts for milk for the penguins. I asked him how does he know this.

His reply ? " Mummy !! Darjah satu kan .. ? "

Wow.. the answer to everything nowadays...

Anyway, Titi on hearing that, said " Mummy, I want blah blah blah builceemm..... "

Mummy : You want brylcream ?

Abah : Nak buat apa Ti ?

Titi : Ha... builceemmmm nak tengok...

Mummy : Brylcream ? For your hair ?

Titi : Ha ? No hair Mum.... Buiceeemmm....

Mummy : Cakap betul - betul Ti ...

Titi : (Sighed) Happy Feet Mum.... ada builceemmm......

Mummy and Abah : Oh penguin........

Titi : Ha.... pengceemmmmm

Hai.....
