Yaya's has a new ....errr some new pets

Bile stick insect tak jadi, yaya minta lain pulak...

"Mama, can I have some bettles? Everyone is going to take them home".
"Some what?", I asked.
"Bettle, you know like a ladybird. I can take care of them. I will feed them with some carrots, lettuce or apples. Ms R says I can take them home if I have the permission."
"But you just had the stick insect, and it's dead." I said
"Owwwhhhh.... please Ma....I promise I will look after them."

Aduhai....kesian pulak dengar. So I agreed to Yaya's request and let her adopt some bettles. At that time, in my mind, I imagined a friendly bettle like the ladybird. Upon hearing my approval, Yaya rushed into the kitchen, looked into the cabinet for a container.

And on the day she returned with the bettle, I was at the office. Just before she was going to bed, she realised she had not introduced me to her new bettle friend.

"Mama, nie la bettle too," said Yaya while holding the container.
Excited, I went closer to her. And what a shocked I had when I saw what was inside the container.

"Eeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii........ apa nih kakak!! This is not bettle."
"Yela...these are mealworms. Nanti dah besar dia jadi bettle laaaa." Yaya tries to explain to her Mama yang dah rasa geli gelaman.......eeeeeeeiiii

"Ok laaa....but don't ask me to feed or do anything to the bettle ekkk... Mama geli." Dan terus jadi bahan ketawa Yaya malam tu. Bangga betul dia bila dapat tau Mama dia nie ada weakness jugak...huhuhu...

Tapi bila dah sehari dua dok tengok, rasa menarik jugak. Berani la jugak telek-telek dan amik gambar. Hahhahaha. Ada citer pasal carrot tu...

"Yaya, who cut the carrot for you?"
"Kakak laaa...." Yaya said.
"Eh...kan mama kata jgn usik pisau." I said.
"No...tu kan carrot dari lauk ayam (padprik) yg Mama masak tu. Kakak basuh dulu."
"Laaaaaaaaa......" den geleng kepala aje laaa...patut la tgk ada bettle yg dah terbalik, kaki kat atas. Penangan padprik rupenya.

Yaya...Yaya...
