kids are so easy
"You were a child
Crawling on your knees toward him
Making momma so proud
But your voice is too loud
We like to watch you laughing
Picking insects off of plants
No time to think of consequences"
- MGMT, "Kids"
It's been quite a while since Nisa warmed up to me. Whenever seeing me coming towards her, going all "Nisaaaa! I miss you! nisaaa..", she would say it really curtly, no not really curtly, but more like a stern scream "NO!". Then I would slowly do a 180 and be all ok ok, like surrendering, waving a white flag, backing out. It's alright, since she's 3 and all but I do miss the times when she would come to my house and the first person she'd looked for was me. Yeah, mesti lah suka bila kids suka kita. It's a really wonderful feeling, making me feel all tingly inside, this adorable, sweet sweet child calling your name and hugging you and... ok snap out of it.
Like just now, she saw me and said the N word again, and hid behind her mother. Dalam hati ni sedih and runsing. Haih, camne la nak buat dia ok dgn kita balik. Takpe, sabar. Then, came the easiest trick kids would fall for. Giving her toys you say? Piggybacks? Make funny faces? Oh I've done enough of that. I just gave her sweets.
Well, she didn't eat them, her little sister did. But it was one of those sour candies and she was like "Masam, masam," and I said "Aah masam, tapi Qoiyah (her sister) suka." "Then she kept eye contact, swaying her body side to side mcm orang nak something tapi malu nak ckp and me making googly eyes at her, won her on the spot.
"Kak Sya, Kak Sya, colour colour." She brought this colouring book with her and showed me all the pictures she's coloured. "Nah, Kak Sya colour colour."
So off I went colouring a raccoon with green, blue, yellow and pink colour pencils to giving her ice cream while watching Puaka Niyang Rapik to rolling on mattresses and playing cak cak with her under the blanket. All done with a smug on my face. Oh senang nya hati ku...
