Mooo... Mbekkkk...

Growing up in an urban area means u might not have the chance to play in the mud, or even to see how farm animals look like in real life.

I myself am somehow grateful that I grew up in kampung, despite the fact that I hate how I was tortured to do stupid things under the burning sunlight... like weeding the grass, sweeping the lawn, and the most intolerable one is picking/isolating the tiny black pebbles from the white sandy yard (Giler ahhh...mak orang lain x pernah suruh buat macam ni!).

Anyway, those things also mean that my life was spent observing the environment, playing with sand, midget creatures in the soil, growth of plants that I am now a bit observant as compared to my students nowadays. Well, orang environment kan? Need I say more?

Cikebum, so far has been taught to distinguish farm animals like chicken. And to avoid confusion, I taught him...it is "ayam chicken". I don't want him to wonder why is the chicken running on the ground is also called chicken in KFC?



Last raya, he was so excited running after a hen (I haven't taught him what is cock and hen, though) with her 4 little chicks, at MakNgah Nah's place.

One more thing, it's good that in MrHubby's kampung, the chance to see cows and goats is very high. Well, education is easier when u see it with your own eyes, right? Yet I find him sometimes confused between a cow and a goat.

He surely knows that cows "mooo...."
and goats "mbekkkkk..."

but after a while, he'd just go "mbekkkkk..." whenever he sees a cow, a goat, a buffalo and the like. Duh...

Okay, dear. The big one is a cow, and the small one is a goat.

That's a monkey. *chattering like a monkey*


...and that's a big lizard. Eeee....

Hmmm...what about u? Can your little ones distinguish cows and goats easily?
