Aku, Saya and Kak Long

Arghhh!!! For some unknown reason, Dania has picked up the habit of saying "Aku". I was quick to blame hubby. He pointed the finger at Ani (my maid). Ani explained that Dania probably got it from a song she heard on TV. I have my doubts; I still think hubby has some hand in this matter.

"Aku nak buat keje."
"Adik jangan nangis, aku ada ni."
"Ibu tunggu sini, aku nak pegi toilet."

OMG!!! She's two years old, for crying out loud.

Every single freaking time, I pointed out to her, "Dania, cakap SAYA. Or Kak long. Tak baik cakap aku. Berdosa."

When you're two years old, the more your parents say don't, the more you wanna do it.

"Aku nak tengok High 5."
"Abah, jom ikut aku pi rumah wan."
"Kakak, aku nak susu."

Finally I had enough. I had nearly blacked out from shock the first time she said "aku". Now, I'm ready to blow my top.

KAK LONG!! JANGAN CAKAP AKU!! CAKAP KAK LONG!! KALAU TAK, IBU CILI MULUT TU KANG!!!

Sometimes blowing up has it merits. I haven't heard "aku" from my dear daughter's mouth since.
