Husna : Mama, nanti Mama belikan saya Christmas hat macam Santa Claus tu eh ? (nasib baik bukan beli Santa)
Mama : Ok, kalau Mama jumpa. (Mama memberikan janji palsu;)
Husna : Mama, bila kita nak celebrate Christmas ? (Aahh, sudah! How should I answer this…think think..)
Mama : Kita tak celebrate Christmas…sebab kita Malay. (Jawapan Mama yang tak berkualiti..haha)
Husna : Tapi kan Mama, kita kan can speak English… (hah?)
Mama : (gulp)…… (haha, jawap…jawap…)

Yezzaa…inilah salah satu consequences of watching Disney Channel & Cartoon Network frequently. Inspite of her English is getting better than Papa, she seems to be enjoying, the idea of celebration of Halloween, Masquerade party, Christmas and other stuff. Tapi, aku tak pernah lah pulak menyambut or support ‘hasrat’ dia tu.

At this age, she understands the racial differences since my ‘geng’ here are 1Malaysia..hehe..Melayu ada, Chinese, Indian pun ada. So, not too difficult to explain to her. She ‘knows’ (tak tahu sejauh mana), that she is a Muslim, the idea of solat, puasa, masjid, cannot touch dogs, baca iqra, recite fatihah, doa makan dan selalu berdoa setiap kali nak tido. Tapi aku tak rasa dia faham, ada religions lain dan ada benda yang kita tak boleh buat/sambut.

I guess, it is time to start explaining to her about religions. Where do I start ?
