Papa versus Jonas Brothers Band

One day, helena asked,
"Mom, who you prefer, Papa or Jonas Brothers?"
I think a while and answered, "Papa."
"Why?" helena asked. "Dont you think Jonas Brothers more handsome?"
"Yes, "I said, "But Papa is my lover."
"If I were you, I'll choose Jonas Brothers," said Helena again.
"Well, Jonas Brothers might not choose me," I answered.
"Yeah, he chose Hannah Montana already," said Helena. "She's so beautiful, I wanna be like her."

And when Papa came home, helena said:
"Papa pretends to be like Jonas Brother, and Mama as Hannah Montana, you're good couple, and I'm your daughter. I would be so happy."
Papa was just laughed.

And this week I promise to take her to watch Hannah Montana movie. Well, a kid have rights to have some idols, rite? Even sometimes I am afraid that she's growing faster than her age, she is just 5, you know!

Guess. Even sometimes she's so annoying, I can not get angry to this kid, my daughter. How can I angry to her, when I get back from work, she will offer to massage me, and said, "Mom, you look tired, I will massage your shoulder. You want some water?"

Or when I call her at home, from my office, she will sing a song for me. This is her favourite:
"Mommy my love, how, how are you...(etc)... I love you and I love you endlessly..."

She is also sometimes so generous to her brother, Evan, teach him this song:
"Head and shoulder, kneel, and toes, kneel and toes, and the eye and the mouth and the ear and the nose, head and shoulder kneel and toes knnel and toes..."

The nice part is, that she's so eager to teach her borther, but the scary part is, she insisted to move her brother body while singing that song, sometimes almost force Evan to move his body parts as the song order, off course Evan felt uncomfort and even able to make him cry.

Evan hobby, is now crawls everywhere. We have to close the door of the bathrooms, since thats his favourite spots. he likes water, just like his sister. well, this is might be a genetic factor, hehehe.
Other hobby is to give us a pull to follow him walk fast around the house. So exhausting. He walk so fast that sometimes we cant follow and scared if he'll fall.

Last weekend, helena was in her grandma's home and called. Papa picked up the phone and smiled when handed over the horn to me, "Helena," he said.
"Whats up?" I said in the phone. Wonder why she doesnt talk to her Papa.
"Mom, can I go to mall with aunty?"
"Sure," I said, "But dont bother aunty, promise? Be a nice kid, OK?"
"Promise," she said.

And when they returned home, I was a little bit curious why they came back that soon.
And then I heard helena's reason, " I asked Aunty to go home soon, cause I'm afraid Papa will get angry if I go out too long. Papa is the one who likes to be angry to me. That's why when I called from opung's house, I said I wanted to talk with Mom because I am afraid Papa wont give permission."

HAHAHAA... And we laughed. Apparently Papa is not at home.
"Papa only get angry if you go out to play with your friends without asking our permission," I said.

And when Papa returned from the church at the nite, I told him. And we laughed. We both always laughed when talking about her acts.
"She's getting critical of everything."

Well, I guess, that's one of the best part of being parents.

Betapa nikmatnya masa kecil

Betapa nikmatnya masa kecil
tak ada kuatir, risau dan pilu,
yang ada hanya bubur, susu dan lagu.
betapa indahnya masa kanak-kanak,
makan tidur bangun main dan berlari,
semua berwarna, semarak, gempita
seolah besok tak ada duka,
dan semua orang berlomba mencium dan memelukmu.

betapa cepatnya masa kecil berlalu
sebentar saja anak yang yang di rahimmu sudah melompat dari gendonganmu
tak mampu kau kejar dengan kaki letihmu
tak kuat kau rengkuh lagi dengan lengan rentamu
tak betah lagi dengan peluk cium dekap elusmu
tak rindu lagi dengan dongeng pengantar tidurmu.

betapa cepatnya waktu berjalan
kemarin adalah masamu kanak-kanak
hari ini masamu beranak
besok adalah masa milik sang anak.
yang kau punya hanya hari ini
bersama semua harap, doa dan mimpi
dan belai ciummu ketika anak-anakmu tertidur pulas di pelukmu.
