yeap, i heard khaleef screamed, “mak! bad guy take kahfi!” and with that, i saw a man holding kahfi who was wriggling to escape. the man did not let go. and khaleef kept screaming.
oh, let me rewind.
we were at a hotel in damansara with abah, and kahfi was his usual ‘cockroach’ self – run here run there – and we were starting to get ticked off with his constant need to escape. he even ran to the little ‘rumah kampung’ display at the hotel and brought down the pagar! oh, no!
at one point, one of the hotel staff took hold of kahfi, and brought him back to me, wriggling away trying to escape.
…and that’s when khaleef screamed out to me, “mak, bad guy take kahfi!
the hotel staff just smiled.
i can’t say for sure that this is the best way to educate our children about ‘stranger danger’ – but i always tell khaleef (or, sometimes, more to SCARE khaleef) that there are bad guys out there who can just snatch kids like him if he wanders off without telling mak or bapak, or if he doesn’t watch his little brother.
they just need to know that the real world out there could be more dangerous than having burgers fell from the sky, the magic of dibo the gift dragon or from the comforts of their own home.

lagi cerita kahfi.
kepala kahfi tersekat kat celah tiang tangga rumah abah. jerit-jerit dia. aku kat dalam bilik dengan kazim, tiba-tiba khaleef datang bagitau.
bila naik atas, nampak abah tengah cuba kluakan kepala kahfi dari celah tangga. kahfi dah bukan nangis lagi dah. dah terjerit-jerit. aku rasa bukan nangis sakit tu. lebih kepada nangis takut kepala tak bole klua!
aku pun cuba jugak. abah dah pegi bawah nak cari gergaji!
khaleef cuba membantu dgn membawa toys utk hiburan kahfi masa dia tersekat tu. bawak bola la. bawak robot la. bawak dinosaur la. macam-macam dia bawak tunjuk kat kahfi. ade satu part tu, dia pun tolong tekan kepala kahfi supaya bole klua!
aku cuma asyik cakap, “it’s ok kahfi. it’s ok. sayang mak.” supaya tenangkan kahfi. aku tau dia nangis tu lebih kepada takut. yang part sakit tu masa aku cuba tekankan kepala dia je.
hmm. kalo muat nak masuk, mesti muat nak klua. aku pun pusing-pusing, tekan-tekan, herot-herot – akhirnya dapat jugak kluakan kepala kahfi. merah telinga dia. nangis sedu-sedu. nasib baik atuk tak payah guna gergaji!
tu la. masuk lagi kepala celah tangga!

member aku buat lawak. katanya, anak kedua dia pun ade je halnya. buat perangai pelik-pelik macam si kahfi. “second child memang macam tu ke, syigim?” erk, aku pun second child tau! kitorang bukan pelik, tapi terlalu kreatif sangat! hihi.

cerita kazim pulak.
kazim dah boleh bergolek lancar dengan bahayanya! kenapa aku cakap bahaya – sebab hampir nak jatuh katil!
pertama kali aku saksikan detik-detik dia bole bergolek tu memang la dah horay-horay dah, tapi dia dah tak ulang dah detik gemilang tu. jadi aku tak lah beria-ia letak bantal keliling dia kalau letak dia atas katil,
tapi baru-baru ni, aku letak dia tengah katil, sekelip mata je dia dah dekat hujung kepala katil! maknanye dia dah bergolek 4-5 kali untuk sampai ke situ.
terkejut gile aku!
jadi sekarang ni, kalo aku nak mandi lama atau keluar bilik, aku letakkan dia atas tilam kat atas lantai, atau kalau dia tido atas katil, aku akan buat kubu dengan bantal-bantal. dah laju dah budak busuk tu!

cute la syigim!.........your kids are sooo adorable.......comel sangat!
unfortunately, the world made us to become suspicious..
at only 11 yrs, i used to round penang island with a mountain bike. without being harassed or kidnap.
pity to you guys, khaleef,kahfi,kazim.
It's a more dangerous world outside now compared to 30 years ago. I wouldn't go out in public with my daughters alone. At least it's safer to have either my SIL or brother with me.
Comellah dia... it's OK Syigim, better be safe than sorry. I think you can't ever be too careful!
hihihi..ur kids are so comey and adorable..
sama la kahfi n zara. ada je benda pelik yang si sulung tak buat tp kahfi/zara buat. kalu kahfi masukkn kepala kat celah tangga, zara lak, masukkan sebelah kaki then buat aksi mcm nk lolos kan badan dari celah palang tangga tu.
>> yeen, cammon la....reply standard - mesti la cute sbb mak diorang cute hahahaha :P
>> bapaknye, yes, the world has turned us into suspicious lot! ade mamat ni innocently asked for directions pun, i rudely told him off - ntah2 he sincerely want to ask!
pity them - but they will live an entirely different adventure i'm sure!
>> kak nur, me having 3 very small boys pun a bit scary. always on the lookout!
>> aisha, ur absolutely right - now there's no such thing as being too careful!
>> thanks amirah! :) comel like their mak :)
>> kak arin, ye la lupa plak si zara pun 2nd child...baguih le deme :P
