Farker head and Hantu Kepala Babi
I just came back from my daughter’s school where I was summoned to meet with her class teacher. The teacher complained that my daughter has been calling some other students by names which were not very nice. Like all normal 7 year olds, boys would tease the girls and vice versa. When some of the boys called her crazy girl, she called them back Farker Head and Hantu Kepala Babi! "Lu Hantu Kepala Babi!". She must have read the title of that particular post (if you haven’t read it, it’s this one). Now the other kids have picked up on it and Hantu Kepala Babi is often heard among her classmates. Sei moh?
The teacher didn’t say those words to me, she called my daughter out and told her to repeat those words to me. The teacher then expressed her concern about calling other students Hantu Kepala errr… tak baik lah she said. I’m not sure whether she was concerned about farker head and I didn’t ask since the teacher seemed to be only concerned with Hantu Kepala Babi. Maybe she feels that the word babi is worst than fark? Ok lar, let’s not turn this into another issue.
Anyway, I couldn’t help but to try to have some fun with her, just to see her reaction. "Aiyo, tak baik macam itu. Tak patut guna babi. Sepatutnya guna khinzir. Ahahaha". :P Her facial expression was priceless. Got MasterCard also cannot buy. She must have thought, niamah, what kind of father is this. She ask me "Mana dia dapat perkataan itu hah?". I stupidly go and answer her, "Internet". Duh! My daughter also acknowledge this with, "Ya, ya, Internet" :P She didn’t know she was reading her old man’s blog. I hope her teacher doesn’t go Google hantu kepala babi and finds this blog!
My daughter is just 7 years old and she’s already exposed to the F word. Ok, the adults are guilty. I’m guilty but some drivers are just f……, never mind. My wife’s guilty and so are the guys at my office whom my kids know well, uncle J especially. But she has used the F word before and I had spoken to her about it. So guess where she got the word farker head from? From a boy in her Sunday School!
So can we filter out the F word? They are bound to be exposed to it sooner or later; movies, music, internet, etc. The only way to counter this that I can see is to not filter it out but to explain to kids that it’s rude to use the F word. But then my kids asked me, "But why you say Fark?". I told them that I’m rude but adults are rude sometimes. Kids are not allowed to be rude until they become adults.
Curious, my daughter asked "When will I become adult?".
"When you’re 18 years old" I replied.
"Aiyoooo so long ah. Can I be adult when I’m 8 years old?". Jah Q dou!
So how?
internet punya fault XD hahahhaa ur girl so farnee lar! can’t stop smiling over this haha… and i’m sure that face on the teacher sure is priceless lor when you said khinzir XD must take video ma hahaha…
and aiyor, not good lor so good manners punya girl XD truthfully me myself lar 20yo liao never said fuck more than 5 times to curse anyone in my life lor… haha. my mom uses it pretty often tho, but dunno y i also didn’t learn hehe

Your daughter is SO CUTE! lol
Dun worry about the teacher… the next time she summoned you, would probably be because she wanted to know if you’ve seen her hubby with those China Dolls. lol
Reply : Hahaha… she’s still single lah. But a malay man would stand out like Michael Jackson if he was with a China doll.

ahahahhaha!! so cute la your daughter.
wow i only started using profanities in secondary school. i still remember in primary school everytime someone uses it the whole class will go “uhhh ohhh tak tahuuu”. damn cibai, if i go back primary school now and they do that to me ill fucking whack kao them
Reply : Secondary school?? Sure or not? Now u expert liao. :)
For me it was 12 yrs old. Standard 6. New classmates who would use Kau, Chet, Lan, Tiu, Mahai. Sounded so cool. Before long, everything I said had Kau, Chet, Lan, Tiu, Mahai. A simple, “Hui peen toh(Go where?)” would become “Tiu kau lia mahai, hui chet lan peen toh” :P

Oh my god, your daughter is a bad influence to me! I dun say vulgarity words in real life (unless someone really pisses me off). Oh, I think in my blog or comments I also seldom say right? You should ask your daughter to mingle with Eileen jie jie more, to grow up in a healthy & loving environment. Wakakaka… That’s my solution for u :P
Reply : Yeah, u’re an angel hor? :P
Eh, even my 7yr old daughter got boyfriend liao. Maybe she can teach u something also. kakakakaaka.

LOL! man you should mount a video camera on your head next time you tried to be funny.
Share the priceless facial expression!!!
Anyway, using curse words. I think you did good, instead of just slapping them when you hear those word (some parents do that, works effectively), you told them its wrong. That’s how I want to educate my children. But first I gotta meditate more and kill the fire within. ohhmmmmmmmm.
Reply : Eh, not just tell them it’s wrong. Got slap and kick also. :P

A reply to your reply:
I started swearing in Primary School.. but still at home I never swore ;)
Well I can be the first lawyer/accountant to start swearing.. maybe not in front of the bosses then, but definitely under my breath ;)
Reply to your reply to my reply:
Can imagine you being so good at home, but the minute you walk out the door, F*** this, f*** that! :P
In front of the boss is ok but not at the boss!

Wakakakakaka…. Adrian, ask ur daughter dun experience too much in relationship, else she end up single like me. And especially too much exposure with his dad’s unloyal frens, she will not want to go into relationship. Note this down in your notebook ya :P
Reply : Too much relationship end up single ah? Something is wrong in your notebook lah. :P
But seriously, I encourage her to date more (when she’s an adult lah). U go shopping u also try a few shoes before you buy rite?
