ALIFF NAK BERHENTI "KERJA"

I have been tied up with my office work for the past weeks and today is especially busy - trying to meet the deadline for Business Plan 2008.

I spent less time with my kids and sometime had an argument with Abah - just to vent out my frustration at the office. At times I really feel like I want to just quit my job. I hate going to work. Why can't I just work from home?

Aliff has been listening to my conversation with Abah. He may not understand what I meant by quit my job but somehow he can surely register "berhenti kerja". So today as usual Aliff called me at work :

Aliff : Mama, Aliff nak berhenti keje....!!
Mama : What? Berhenti keje, Aliff keje apa?
Aliff : Keje Aliff lah
Mama : Ye lah, Aliff keje apa?
Aliff : Keje sekolah Aliff lah...
Mama : ooooo, kenapa nak berhenti?
Aliff : Aliff penat lah, boleh lah eh Aliff nak berhenti keje
Mama : Tak boleh lah, keje sekolah kena buat
Aliff : Aliff sakit perut lah...
Mama : Ok lah bye bye

Hahahha, that was really sweet of him. I can hear bibi's laughing voice at the back..!!!

Later today, he called again :

Aliff : Mama, Aliff dah ok dah
Mama : Ok apa?
Aliff : Aliff dah ok dah kat rumah ni...ok bye..

he hung up before I could say anything.

His call today really made my day. This kind of call make me really want to go straight home from work.

Aliff - you are really the CLOWN of the house.

wassalam,

mama
