Dialog with my two grandsons (a 3 ½ and 2 ½ year olds) one evening, their toys strewn all over the floor. The children call me Tok Bah, elder one named Hifzhan is nicknamed Babang and younger one Haziq is nicknamed Dedek:
Tok Bah: Babangggg….. Dedekkkk…… why are all your toys all over the floor? Clear all of them pleaseeee… put them all back in the basket..
Dedek: Dowant dowant dowant….
Tok Bah: Dowant tomoro you cannot follow Tok Bah and Tok Mi
Babang: Tok Bah nnn nnn Tok Bah want to go where?
Tok Bah: Clear your toys first. If not both of you cannot follow. Ask Dedek to help you clear the toys.
Babang: Dedek… clear the toys… wait cannot follow Tok Bah…
Dedek: Follow go whereee…..
Babang: TokBah, Tok Bah... nnn nnnFollow Tok Bah go where?
Tok Bah: Ask Dedek where Dedek want to go…
Babang: Dedek…. You want to go PIZZA HUT or whererrrr…
Dedek: Pizza Hut
Tok Bah: Nooo… Pizza Hut is closed.
Babang: Why Pizza Hut closed???
Tok Bah: Becozzz it’s a holiday
Babang: Holiday Pizza Hut closed?
Tok Bah: Yes…. We go to library ok….
Dedek: I want go libary?
Tok Bah: What you want to do in the library?
Dedek: Dedek want to read books….
Tok Bah: Ok go clear your toys……
Phewww!!! Saved…. No need to go to Pizza Hut. The idea was to get them to clear their toys... not to go to Pizza Hut. Thats the parent's job!!
