Upon completing writing this entry, I realized that all of it happened on the bed.
Scene 1
I was reading my book. He was drinking his milk.
“MAMA!” he looked very disturbed.
“Yeah?” I said and put down the book I was reading. Note to future parents out there, forget about reading when you become parents. However, it will be compensated with a lot of playtime and your brain will be rusty.
“Tadikan, kat school kan. Eleanor kan…!!!!” he said with his eyes wide open and looking extremely excited and disturbed at the same time. (Translation: Just now at school, Eleanor ….)
“Yes, what did Eleanor do?” by now I was intrigued by what tragedy had happened at his school and what was his role in it. I was hoping it didn’t involve any pain and tears. After all, Eleanor is a girl and Faaris can be very rough whenever he is in his Ben 10 or Ultraman mode.
“SHE TOOK THE PAPER ON TEACHER’S TABLE!” he yelled and then put his bottle back in his mouth and his head on the pink pillow.
“The what happened? She took the paper and did what?” Oh dear, I have a mental image of paper and fire and the school on fire. A mother’s imagination can go wild when she has an Energizer bunny as a son.
“Tak ada apa-apa lah.” (Nothing)
“What do you mean nothing??? You were so excited to tell me the story. There can’t just be “Nothing”. There must be something. What happened to the paper and Eleanor. Tell me the truth!” I demanded an answer from a child whose already nodding off to sleep.
Now, I am left with my wild imaginations with no closure.
Scene 2
It was very early in the morning and I was daydreaming on my bed on what colour I’d choose for my wall. I decided not to do my morning jog. I really don’t have much choices. My divan bed is in light blue suede. I wanted a red theme bedroom. Oh, well maybe I could have a red theme bathroom complete with a bathtub. Can a bathtub fit into the small area?
Suddenly, the kid sat up, facing the curtainless window and start shrieking “ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
“FAARIS WHAT HAPPENED!”
“Oh nothing. Kat luar dah panas.” (It’s already hot outside”
“Of course, it’s already hot outside, that’s daylight. It’s already morning and why did you scream?”
“Nothing. Faaris ingat malam. Saya terkejut tengok kat luar dah panas.” (I thought it was still night. I was suprised when I looked outside and it’s already day)
Scene 3
I was outside watching Grey’s Anatomy and drooling whenever there was McSteamy on the screen. I heard him crying and I knew he had nightmare. By the way, he’s already sleeping in his own room. I went to his room to check on him. The best remedy for nightmare is to wake him up. I saw him already sitting on the bed. I turned him around. He gave me the creepiest smile. Yanno Chucky the doll from Child’s Play horror movie? That was the kind of smile he gave me. The he looked over to the right side of my shoulder. I put him back to sleep and he closes his eyes.
What did I do?
Ran to my mom’s room and slept next to her.
I told these stories to my colleagues and they said they were not surprised that Faaris is such a drama queen. He got it from me? Am I a drama queen? Surely I am not…right? RIGHT?
