Oh No! I didn't do my homework!

If you know Khaleeq. You would know that he and homework - well, they are not exactly friends..

Scene Setting: Kurang lebih 5 minutes before leaving for school.

Khaleeq: Oh No! Oh No! I didn't do my homework! I didn't do my homework.
(He was saying it over and over again...)

Me: What's wrong Khaleeq?
Khaleeq: I didn't do my homework, mom. I forgot.
Me: It's OK Khaleeq. You can do it tonight. I'll call your teacher and tell her you forgot.
Khaleeq: NO! Teacher Rita is going to be angry!
Oh, tahu takut sekarang rupanya...

Me: OK. Khaleeq. Get your homework and we'll do it now.
Khaleeq ran to his bagpack and retrieved a piece of paper - it was subtraction. Easy!
We went through the work and it was done in about 7 minutes. I thought we were set to leave for school now. Tiba-tiba, ada balik suara itu..

Khaleeq: Now, I've got to count my dots. I have to count my dots.
Me: Dots? What dots?
Khaleeq: I have another homework, mom. I have to count my dots.

Waah!!!! Dua rupanya homework dia. Kalau ku tahu awal-awal tadi, memang lah tak buat homework tu..

Pandai-pandai.. Inilah yang dikatakan survival techniques.
  • If he had taken out both his work at the same time, I might have insisted that we just head to school and he'll have to deal with his teacher on his own.
  • By taking only one worksheet out, mom would think, "Oh! It's just a quick one. Let's just get it over and done with"
  • Once one worksheet was done, he pre-empted me with the Dots. "I have to count my dots. I have to count my dots." How to resist? Dah tu, dia lak yang sungguh-sungguh nak buat. Kesian la pulak... hihihihihi
Hai... Budak-budak zaman sekarang ni, macam-macam taktik ada... Sila belajar, tuan-tuan dan puan-puan..

Khaleeq sama la dgn my no.2. :D Welcome to the club dear. i bab2 h/w mmg penat nak berleter esp with no. 1. Kumon hw yg cinonet tu pun punya la susah nak minta dia buat. Suruh la berapa puluh ribu kali pun, takkan dibuatnye sampai kene marah baru la nak buat. Tension...I really thot my homework days are over! haha
