~ Game Time ~

I taught the other day
about spoon and fork
about left and right

I know she is a fast learner
fantastic listener
and a perfekt copier

yesterday I tested her
"Karina, ini apa?" holding a spoon on my right
"Sendok" she said firmly

then I asked her again
"Kalo ini, apa?" holding a fork on my left
"Galpu" still firm on her answer

moved to slightly harder question
"Kalo sendok ditangan apa?" I asked
"Kanan!" half screaming

and another one
"kalo garpu ditangan apa?" I asked
"Kili!" screamed louder

Played spoon and fork game
Played left and right game
Karina grew bored and tired

She took the spoon away
She took the fork away
She walked backward
with her eyes closed
hands on her back
hiding spoon and fork
She walked backward
with her eyes closed
didn't listen to Mami's call
didn't listen to Dadi's call
She walked backward
with her eyes closed

till she bumped on something
she fell
and cried
till mami rescued her
hug and pat softly on her back
and tell her
not to walk backward
with her eyes closed
