Animal stories

The Little Misses love animal documentaries or docos as we Aussies call them :-). And they have been watching a NZ show called The Zoo for the past few nights. It starts at 7 o’clock at night which is usually well after dinner’s finished.

But tonite, we had dinner a bit later, after solat maghrib so when the show started, The Other Half and I were still busy cleaning up the dining table and the food and starting to wash the dishes. Since sekarang ni our kitchen and family and dining areas open plan kan, so while we were cleaning up, sambil2 tu bolehlah tengok tv with the girls.

And tonite’s show was about these cute tiger cubs at the zoo going through their vaccinations.

Suddenly, Miss 7 said…

Miss 7: Do you know Dad that they’ve been showing the tiger stories for the past few days already.

Dad: Really….

Miss 7: Yeah, the other day they were showing the big tigers mating, and then yesterday, they showed the tiger cubs being born and today, they showed the cubs being vaccinated!

Dad: R..i..g..h..t… Fascinating! (while looking at me wildly)

Masa ni I tengah terduduk menyorok belakang the kitchen cabinets, gelak giler2. Yang I gelak kan sebab the innocent way she said the word ‘mating’ to her Dad and The Other Half trying so hard to keep a straight face, muahahahaha……

We love it that they love watching animal shows but that’s the point with animals kan, they live to procreate and eat and survive. So, tak dapat lah nak elak in any animal shows for them to learn about that aspect of life :-). As long as she didn’t think it took only 3 days in real life from mating to vaccination dah lah, hikhikhik….

The reason why we all makan dinner lambat malam ni was because I didn’t start cooking until 5.30. Actually I betul2 tak tau nak masak apa malam ni until pukul 5 baru decided nak masak nasi lemak. And masa tu lah baru nak blender chilli sebab chili boh dah habis, baru nak defrost the chicken nak buat ayam goreng, tu yang start masak lambat, hehehe.

I masak sotong goreng berkuah khas untuk Miss 7 (sambil tu we all pun bedal sama lah :-)), bila letak kat pinggan, meleleh kuah dia around the nasi. Tu yg nampak berair aje kat sebelah nasi tu.

The shredded lettuce tu was picked from our garden. Miss 7 cakap, “It’s the best lettuce I have ever tasted!” Budak tu memang selalu over, muahahaha. But I guess any sayur when they are freshly picked, memang lah rasa sangat sedap kan!

I know it's you but I heran gak apasal you tukar nick. I thought you nak jadi mcm Prince (the singer) yg guna symbol aje one time dulu, hehehehe.
Miss 7 tu memang suka makan anything and everything, tu yg badan dia ada extra fat, hikhikhik.

Kak Acik,
I tak tau lah dia paham ke tak maksud mating tu but we all malas nak tanya sbb malas nak explain, hahahaha...

ICAZIESYIRA said...

Unaizah said...

Wah, dah boleh tuai hasil dari kebun. Boleh la makan sayur fresh selalu ye...

lemongrass said...

Jaja,
Hehehe...nasib baik masa episode mating tu, we all tak tengok sama :-P

Dinas,
Dia masa tu muka seposen abis sbb tahan gelak sgt2, hehehe

Cat,
You can join my girls then :-D

Mira,
biasalah kan, bila dah makin bnyk channel TV yg boleh di tengok, makin bnyk lah 'knowledge' yg diaorang dpt, hehehe

Sooyaree,
I pun klu tgh makan, rasa tak best betul tengok doco animals kan. Kalau tengok doco about foods, memang lagi laju the food masuk mulut, hehehe.

KOG,
she knows mating is what animals do to have kids but I think dia tak tau erti sebenar2nya, hehehe

Shiori,
Kalau I kat M'sia, I beli aje nasi lemak pagi2, hehehe

Kak Rose,
Nak gelak depan dia, tak boleh sbb nanti sure dia heran apasal kita gelak kan, hehehe

Liz,
Sbb tu I menyorok cepat2 bila dia ckp mating tu sbb tak tahan nak gelak :-). Sian kat TOH sbb dia kena buat muka interested tanpa tersenyum sedikit pun, a very difficult thing to do! hahaha

Putu,
Nasi lemak I banyak lauk, takde sayur, tu yg you suka ye! hehehe

Ayu,
Documentaries ni memang best sbb benda betul kan. Sambil tu boleh diaorang belajar about the world :-).

Unaizah,
Cuma lettuce and daun ketumbar tu aje yg boleh dituai sbb cepat memebesarnya, heheh
