tales of the kids

rania told me about this one girl in her school who likes to bully her. they ride the same transport. when she kept telling me bout this girl, i told her to stand up for herself. but i guess she didnt. so an hour ago, she whispered to me what this girl did to her in the van. the girl called her stupid and kinda slapped her face. i didnt witness it so i dont know whether to believe her or not. when i asked her to describe the slap, she said, not the soft kind. sakit. 'what did u do?' nothing. seriously, i dont like to overprotect my kids. so i told her, next time she called u stupid, tell her 'sape ckp org bodoh, dia yg bodoh.' i know this isnt wise either. and i smsed to the transporter to separate them in the future. i know the parents of this girl. and it's not our culture to go and confront them. but i kinda know why the girl behaved that way. the parents are hardly around and when under the constant care of maids, what do u expect eh? and im in no position to advice ppl on how to discipline their kids but at least, teach some manners.

omar has turned two. but he still couldnt complete words. like when he wanted to say thomas, he wud say, ME as in ME(nang). or BOBOB for SPONGEBOB. so the other day, i was telling rania, 'teruk betul bahasa omar.' we did list out a few words. infact, it was like a quiz.
example :
ok, apa dia DER?
BOB THE BUILDER!
next, apa dia TUL?
SCHOOL!
apa dia MOK?
SELIMUT or REMOTE!
apa dia VUAK?
ULAT!!
ok, ok...apa dia ME as in ME(rah)?
SPIDERMAN, ULTRAMAN, BATMAN, SUPERMAN!!

bijak, bijak....
