Kan?

Apa yang I perasan, (or memang the mother punya perasaan dan perasan je la kot), the kecik makin hari makin adorable. And now, everyone say, 'Auuwwwww'. Hahaha.

Kan masa last trip, all of us memang toing-toing. Yang paling kesian, the kecik as a week before budak bertuah ni memang dah demam. Demam seminggu, baik 3-4 hari, lepas tu demam balik seminggu. Bila demam kali kedua tu, we're on a trip, so, at 11pm, the kecik buat acara muntah pula. Dah la we're waiting for our next flight. Nasib baiklah I macam dah ada cermin ajaib, boleh nampak future. I memang dah siap-siap spare extra clothes for the kecik and me.

It's a long journey and all of us very tired. Tak adalah jauh sangat tapi sebab duk tunggu the next flight, tu yang.. Haiiyaaaaaa!

Ending up the kecik slept on my lap for the next 5 hours. Tu pun sebelum tu the kecik restless. Tidur kejap, then teresak-esak menangis. Bad dreams campur badan tak sihat. Macam-macam hal.

Bila dah sampai to the next destination, the kecik all the way. Means, you letak je atas katil, terus zzZZZzzz sampai 3-4 jam. Dah balik pun, the kecik can take a nap up to 4 hours. Ada sekali tu, pukul 5.30pm the kecik took his late nap, terus nak sambung ke malam. Tapi I woke him up as we're not having dinner yet. Kesian pula dekat budak bertuah ni. I dah geletek pun, still, tak nak bangun. Gelak-gelak lepas tu dozzed off again. Suddenly the kecik turns to Cik Esah's kids. (anak-anak Cik Esah memang kaki tidur). At the end, I dukung je la anak teruna tu. Bangun-bangun makan roti canai. Bagus sungguh! Habis sepinggan pula tu.

And recently bila the kecik buat attitude-yang-bila-pergi-rumah-orang-baru-kenal-and-terus-pick-up-all-the-toys-dalam-bilik, I dont think I want to scold him or said 'No!'. The kecik just 3 years old. Memanglah melentur buluh daripada rebungnya tapi please bear in mind that tuan rumah pun tak kata apa and memang toys are for kids. And it was late afternoon, the kecik dah sah-sah la belum take any nap before as ikut berjalan dari pagi.

One of the main reasons, kenapa I malas nak larang, nanti bila kata 'Tak boleh', 'No', 'Letak balik', to one sleepy boy, itu memang mengundang masalah. As the answers to your instructions, will be, crying! Loud ones of course!

Gua malas la nak marah-marah anak rumah orang. Lebih-lebih lagi if budak tu menangis. Ye la campur dengan mengantuk semua. What a 3 years old boy knows? He's not 13! Bila menangis, melalak, semua orang cakap, 'Bagi je la apa yang dia nak', 'Tak apa, tak apa, ambil balik toys tadi', and am struggling to make the kecik diam balik from melalak, disebabkan nak puas hati kan satu-pihak-yang-tak-suka-with-my-son-attitude-yang-duk-main-toys-anak-tuan-rumah. Daripada diam elok, berlari suka-suka, now with melalak, menangis satu bangunan dengar. It's nice kan?

Yes. I know. It's not nice to let your kids running around at a new friend's house. Baru kenal tapi anak dah berlari-lari masuk bilik orang, ambil toys semua. Tapi for me, I tak kisah pun. Dah namanya pun budak-budak. Even dah khatan pun, nak masuk toilet pun still panggil I. If ada kids coming to my house, terus masuk bilik, ambil toys, I dont mind. Lain orang lain pandangan kan? Tapi agak-agak la if nak marah anak teruna pun. He's sleepy. You also know about it as you're with us all morning long. Sigh..

Mungkin. Mungkin la kan additional marks for the kecik, he's so adorable. And boleh pula adjust with environment. If dah melalak macam tu, and the kecik will play chess nicely, and doing something that make people say 'Ahhhhhh' 'Auwwwwww'. Mungkin. Mungkin je la kan? If berterusan with that behaviour, adorable macam mana pun, orang akan tak suka juga kan?

Still, kita tahu yang 3-5 years adalah tahun yang memang mencabar kesabaran. After that, they will stop mixing. And always stuck with video games at the corner. Kan?

So, I rasa, tak payah la kot nak jemput any of us to your house this time being. Unless you memang tak kisah macam I, and faham yang budak-budak tengah nak besar and need their sleeps, so, boleh invite us. Tapi if no, jemput lagi 2 tahun la ye. I cant bear any 'Tak baik tau, kita baru kenal dah masuk-masuk bilik orang, ambil toys semua'.

I tak sempat nak salam lagi dah, budak tu dah berlari. Nak suruh I dukung anak teruna 24/7? Telek je muka anak? Tak payah salam dengan orang lain? Pergi rumah orang yang baru kenal, tak payah kenal-kenal? Makan je makanan orang tu? And teman my son main? Macam tu? Or tinggal anak kat rumah? Tu yang I cakap.. Tak payah pergi rumah kawan baru with me if you dont like my son attitude when he's sleepy. I dont want to cubit my son. Or even marah him.

Anak teruna I hidup lagi sampai sekarang pun I dah syukur sangat-sangat dah.
