Have we turned into our parents? Erkkk.

Bila belek-belek FB, it's awkward seeing some of my ex-students have turned into parents (of one or two). Ye la kan..aku kan remaja beza cuma setahun dua je dengan diorang (haipp...haipp...stop rolling your eyeballs!)



Anyway, masa kecik dulu, bila bengang dengan parents, kita selalu pikir "Huh! Bila aku besar nanti, aku takkan bebel kat anak-anak (macam parents aku buat ni)."

Tapi sedar-tak-sedar, kekadang tu we have turned into our parents.

Ni antara contoh/buktinya.


"Haa..buat la macam tu! Nanti Tuhan bagi muka terus jadi macam tu, terus tak boleh ubah balik (read: freeze that way), padan muka!"

Now that we all know this isn’t true. But still we choose to say it to threaten our kid(s). Hehehe

"Dah tu, kalau kawan terjun bangunan pun.. adik pun nak ikut terjun jugak?"

Hahaha. Keji kan? How annoying it was to hear jumping off a building being compared to wanting to go cycling with your friends to a place a bit far from home!

"How many times have I told you?"

Acecece..kemain lagi emphasize kat 'berapa kali'. At once, aku pernah cakap macam tu...and Lil Adam innocently replied "Once."

T-T

"Kat Ethiopia nuuuu... ada ramai lagi kebulur tak makan tau tak!"

Ewah..ewah. Tetiba je terer Geografi. Tak semena-mena tau pasal isu semasa. Walhal tujuan asalnya nak paksa anak habiskan makanan. Hebat kan penangan jadi parents?

“When I was your age, mana ada mainan macam ni semua.”

Nak kata dengki, tak jugak. Ye la kan. Jaman dulu mana ada segala mainan hebat-hebat macam sekarang. Paling hebat pun main game kat tong game yang keluar kacang tu (read HERE).

But today, telephone, games, camera, PDA, walkman, GPS, video recorder all-in-one. Smartphone.

"Which part of ‘no’ don’t you understand?”

Macam le ada banyak parts of 'no'.

Hahahaha. Tapi kita cakap jugak kan?

"Nanti ayah/mama balik...siap la adik!"

Takut tak? Takut tak? Hehehe

"Kalau tak nak dengar cakap Mama, pegi dok rumah orang lain."

Another version of “As long as you live under my roof, you’ll do as I say!”

Sebenarnya kalau tetiba anak nak gi duduk rumah orang, dan-dan kita cuak. Kan?

“When you become parents one day and have kids (like you), then you'll know!"

Ini memang lawak. Passive aggressive. Kehkehkeh. And... here we are!

"Because I said so"

Aku masih menunggu-nunggu moments untuk sebut ayat-veto ni. Tapi macam takde peluang jer. Maybe sebab aku mama yang baik kot. 

Diulang.... kot.

So, dalam banyak-banyak contoh tu...yang mana korg pernah guna?

:-P
