i went to husband's grand-dad's haul on saturday night. met husband's cousin who got married a few months earlier than us and gave birth quite recently. the baby was gorgeous. typical handsome arab face. so geram. he's so pudgy and gendut and his arms and thighs are so fleshy that u want to bite them!
how vicious!
anyhow, i was cradling the baby when husband's grandmothers came into the house. they started touching the baby, then my tummy and said "Mintak-mintak berjangkitlah!"
i didnt know pregnancy is contagious that way. i started laughing! i love the old ladies.. they are so cute!
one of the aunts asked me, "Are you using birth control?"
i replied, "Eh takdelah. Ahmad shooting blanks."
the aunt gave me a puzzled look. i had to explain to her its a joke. she recommend some concoction of jamu for me and the husband.
okaaay.. i think she thinks the husband and i are somewhat defective.
how do you explain to your elders that you are not ready to have children yet as you are 300km separated on most days and having a child now would mean the kids not able to spend time with their dad.
i think most of them think i would not want to have kids now for vanity or selfish reasons.
only god knows how much i would love to have little people of my own to boss around. (joking)
