Son's Love - Towards his Mother

“I did that because my father makes my mother cry.”

That was what a 14 year old student told me when asked about his behavior in school.

He was a student in this school from Form 1. He is now in Form 2. He was then a very obedient and intelligent boy. Respect the teachers. vHe never go against the school rules. Always abide by the rules. Was a model student in the school.

Suddenly, he changed. He played truant, he verbally abused his friends and teachers. Never did his homework on time, making noise in class, got into fights with his friends.

When I asked him why he changed his behaviour, he only said that its all because my father made my mother cry.

“What did your father do that make your mother cry?”

“Teacher, before, we were a very happy family. My father is a very successful man. He got lots of money.”

“We always go overseas for our family holidays.”

“I’ve been to Los Angeles Disneyland, we had a good time there. I‘ve been to the Universal Studios, Grand Canyon, San Diego , Paris, London, Hong Kong etc.”

“We also went to Australia three times a year to visit my brother in Perth, my sisters in Sydney and my cousin in Adelaide.”

“My mother was a very happy woman. With lots of money she can shopped to her hearts content. When my mother is happy, we, the children will be happy too.”

“Although I can have what I want, I still think of the others especially the under privileged. I thank God for what He had blessed us with.”

“I respected my father. My bothers and sisters also respected him. We think highly of him. A successful man in business.”

“But one day, he left his thumb drive on the dinner table, we thought it belonged to our cousin who spend the night at our house. We wanted to play a prank on him with his thumb drive without realizing it was my father’s.”

Holiday In Langkawi

I brought my sons and daughter to Pulau Langkawi (Langkawi Island) for a family holiday when they were small.

We then went island hopping from one island to another.

There were two islands in Langkawi called “The Big Fart Island” (Pulau Kentut Besar)
and “The Small Fart Island” (Pulau Kentut Kecil).

My son then asked me, “Mama why are the name of these two islands so weird?”

I then throw back the question to him,

“Why do you think so, my dear, the name of these two island is such?”

“Mama, I think, once there were two divers searching for oysters.”

“But before they dived, they ate a lot of beans for breakfast.”

“They stayed so long underwater searching for the oysters. Full of beans, and so their stomach bloated. So they begin to fart.”

“The first diver farted in a big way. ‘POOOOOT’. The bubble from the fart formed the big island.”

“The other diver farted in a small way. ‘Peeeeeet’. The bubble from the fart formed the smaller island.”

“That is how these islands got their names!”

I laughed and laughed at his wits. He was only twelve then.
