The Stork, the Stork

We got some bit of thrilling news yesterday. I’m getting a new niece or nephew…yeaaay…! A rather long awaited news, I was thrilled for my bro n family. Back home, while cuddling after our daily bedtime story with my precious, I shared the good news with him. This lil’ conversation took place : -

Mum : "Hey Haqim, guess what, you’re gonna get a new cousin u know..!"

Haqim: "Huh?"

Mum: "Airis and Jasmine are getting a new baby brother or baby sister..! isn’t that exciting?!"

Haqim : "yeaa…" (not totally amused)

Mum : " So, what do you think of that?"

Haqim : "Well, if it’s a boy, can Auntre Rin handle it?"

Mum: "What do you mean?" (totally bewildered at this point)

Haqim: " U know, Auntie Rin and Pakcik only have girls. They’ve never handled a boy before."

Mum: "Broke into fit laughter and TOTALLY amused..! Well, maybe you can help them out then."

Haqim: "But I’m just a kid mum"

Then added - "You and Daddy have 3 boys. You two would know how to handle if it’s a baby boy!"

Ha ha ha

When I told this to my colleagues at work today, they suggested perhaps tonite I shud tell Haqim we’re expecting a baby girl and after 3 boys, goodness, would we know how to handle a baby girl…??!

Later Haqim added, somewhat an afterthought I guess-

“Girls watch strange movies”

Mum: " Like what? "

Haqim : “ Like Little Mermaids and Fairies. And also Syaitan movies. (ask Airis’s mother about that one..) And Dora. So much Dora. I don’t like those….I like boys better."

So, there you go – that’s my son for you. We can probably expect more strange and amusing quips while we wait for the family's latest bundle to arrive. Meanwhile sis, enjoy the pregnancy…!!
