BluE Scrubs

You know how you compare your kids to other people's right? Nooooh really?You don't? They are individuals? They develop at different rates? Tipu lah, everybody does.

So the other day, as in few months ago, Ak came back from work rambling along as usual even before he took his shoes off. 'So Noah is 2 and a bit right?'. '2 and 4 months' I said. 'That's what I've just said', he continued forcing a serious face. 'I saw this kid in clinics today, she was doing colours and she's only 2'. I knew exactly what he was trying to do, to get me all worked up.

Noah was conveniently nearby. After the usual shouting 'Noaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh' and 'Daddyyyyyyyyyyyyy' and crazy hug and air somersault and holding Noah upside down (like they haven't seen each other in years) until I tell them to stop, he sat Noah down.

Daddy: Ok Noah this is it, make Mummy proud. Noah, what colour is Thomas the tank engine?
Blue noah said.
Hoh! That's it. He knows it now!!! I thought. They did a big cheer and a high five.
Daddy: What colour is James?
Noah: Blue.
Daddy: What colour is Emily?
Noah: Blue.
Ok Noah, what colour is Thomas again?
Pink.

Daddy laughed hysterically. Noah joined in.
Special needs la awak ni Noah.
