Kertas Bahasa Melayu anak ku

Abang had his exams last month. I coached him in science and Bahasa Arab. For Bahasa Malaysia I only drilled him on spellings and stressed on the importance of capital letters for names.

A week after that he showed us his BM paper. Haaii………………

On the ‘ Bina Ayat ‘ section, they have a few pictures as subject. The first one was a picture of a shirt. Umar’s ayat was ‘ Baju ini bersih.’ Okay. Well actually that was the only okay part. From number 2 till 6, he only received 1 mark each out of the allocated 2. Beside a picture of a horse, Abang wrote ‘ Kuda itu membawa berlari.’ There was a red slash on the word membawa. Picture three was of a boy who was taking his bath. My clever son wrote ‘ Budak itu sedang membawa mandi ‘. What is his obessession with the word membawa and again there was a red slash on the membawa. The fourth one again had a slash at you guess where when he wrote ‘ Itik itu membawa berenang ‘. Ada ke ?

I asked him what is the meaning of the word. He shrugged his shoulders and said “ Entah. ”. I was lost for words. “ Membawa maksudnya bring, Abang." explained his Babah. My son’s face lit up. “ Oh, like bawak ?"

Waaahhhh !!!!!!!

Next page’s instruction was to fill in the blanks with the words given.

Nenek saya harum.

Big fat cross there.

Bunga itu tua.

Again a cross there.

What happened Abang ? Why nenek harum ? Well, said my son, Wan sometimes sprays perfume and she does smell nice. Pulak.

Why is the bunga tua then ?

Well, bunga kan when did not get enough water and sun, will get all brown and yucky. That is when it is old mum.

Okay, how can I do this ?

Because your son thinks in English. That's why bila translate jadi kelakar... alot of practice will solve the problem I guess.

Umar membawa saya terkenang,iaitu membawa zaman sekolah rendah saya dulu. Saya pernah membawa exam BM dengan membawa jawapan lebih kurang sama.Exam membawa soalan: isikan tempat kosong dengan penjodoh bilangan yang sesuai: Saya makan _____ nasi.

Saya membawa jawapan: Saya makan sekeping nasi.
