Honest Three

Three is the age where everything spoken is out of pure honesty. Which is a positive trait, until something like this happens...

Last Friday, was picking up Zayd from his minder's. As we walked out of the house, another Mommy came in to pick up her son, and Zayd piped up.

"Itu mak Ali! (bukan nama sebenar)," kata Zayd sambil menunjuk ke arah wanita yg berada di pintu pagar.

"Ye ke? Hai Mak Ali," kataku sambil menyengih mesra.

Zayd turut melambaikan tangan kepada Mak Ali yg berjalan melenggang masuk ke dalam rumah. Aku dan Zayd pun memberi laluan untuk Mak Ali ni masuk. Sebaik sahaja hampir berlaga bahu dengan Mak si Ali ni, boleh Zayd membuka mulut dan berkata...

"Mak Ali ni gemuk."

Omagad. Pucat aku weih.

Honesty is a virtue, but it is also a double-edged sword.

Aku harap Mak Ali adalah kurang terang sket pendengaran. The lady isn't even gemuk to begin with. Adoi la Ahmad Zayd...
