My babies are 'pelat'

Hm, this is really one area where most Malays are stumped over- how come many Malay babies are afflicted with this phenomena? Just like 'latah', it is something that exists in the Malay community. Banyak pendapat mengatakan, antara sebab pelat ialah kerana cara ibu-bapa bercakap dengan anak2. If this is the 'cause' then in the case of Ayum, my firstborn, I truly place the blame on my hubby.

Dia kalau timang anak memang ada 'bahasa' tersendiri - stuff like, 'denapa anak papa dedawa?' kenapa anak papa ketawa)- can u believe that? Hm, but when it came to Aisyah, I told him not to do it. Kalau dia buat belakang I tu tak taulah, tp... dia pun pelat! And now, baby, but she's not as bad as the other two, a lot of 'improvement', in fact...

Masa Ayum kecil, I selalu ada problem nak faham dia. But the dad, the 'root of the cause', faham aje! Some of his 'famous' words are cocodak (koko krunch), piate (badminton), toyotak (Robocop), and timo (Chipsmore). The word atuk has many meanings - batuk, masuk, ketuk, mengantuk, and of course, Atok! The same as atak - it stands for kakak, katak, masak, kotak, letak, gosh!!! Pening tak kepala?

With Aisyah, hm, mmg banyak sangat antics nye... especially bila dia menyanyi..
Telamat padi, telamat padi, dulutu,
Telamat padi, telamat padi, tawantu...
Tami datang te tetolah untuk menimba imu
Tami uncap telamat padi bila tita betemu..
Dud moning, dud morning to teacher,
Dud morning, dud morning to ma plen...
We wish you tudeder...

Classic!

And now, Nisa..bila nyanyi lagu itik...
Tatu ibu itik, jalan matuk tapung,
Dua anak itik kekekor ke akang
Bila ibu puting, tatu tudah ilang,
Quek, quek, quek, mana anaktu tayang...

Belum lg mention perangai! But my kids are all talkative. Aisyah tak usah cakaplah, memang drama queen. Semalam, Nisa cakap, "tak boleh nangis, nanti dum dum datang, (mercun), pecah tingkap. nanti aircond rosak!" She was merely repeating what I told her, tapi dia punya cara cakap tu, mmglah kalah kak nam! 2 mlm lepas,masa nampak cicak, dia mengadu pada Tok Wan dia, "baby matuk bilik air tadi, tiba-tiba nampak cicak!"
Kancil kan?

Abang hilang pelat masa 5 years, sebab masa masuk Tadika Pasti I ingat memang dia masih pelat... Aisyah pulak, masa 4++. In fact, baru 3 months ago hilang pelatnya. Nak tengok bila baby hilang pelat. But hers is not much of a problem, boleh faham... yg problem sekarang cuma s, g n f, r, s & z. Tapi tulah, mana tumpah kuah kalau tak ke nasi, kan? My "copyright" words include wah pecang, ahcicang, pahcicang, unipongciti, cacing, & catang! What the heck are they? Ha, ha, go figure!!!
