My son, the teenager


My son is a teenager effective 12 midnight on Sunday. Sigh…dah besar anak aku. Rasa macam baru semalam dia dilahirkan. Kecik jer, very good baby he was.

Today, hes taller than me by at least 2 inches, but weighs lighter than me for now lah hahaha. Jerawat dah menumbuh kat hidung tuh. Kejap sebelah bawah hidung, kejap, sebelah atas. Ibu dia kelam kabut carikan Oxy Pads for him to clean his face every night and day. Tak nak pulak anak aku dipanggil 'Mat Selekeh'.

Dah pandai bergaya jugak anak bujang aku satu nih. Pakai kemeja ke sekolah…Dockers, Ralph Lauren…boleh tahan. Pakai gel rambut menimbun, kat sebelah atas jer kepala dia…mcm pesen budak2 sekarang gitu.

Now that he's a teenager, he is celebrating the fact that he is able to watch PG13 movies without his parents having to hover over him. He has also advanced to another level for the Baseball League…no more 'Ponies'…now he is in the 'Broncos'…kuda lebih besar ker? Alah the bujang league lah kata orang tuh.

13 years, memang bohong lah kalau dia dibesarkan tanpa masalah remaja. Tahun lepas, nasib baik ibu dia tak kena heart attack bila dapat 'report card'. Apa lagi, kena grounded budak tuh selama 6 bulan. No baseball, no tv, no nothing! Pandai dia kelentung ibu dia, pandai lah ibu dia kelentung dia balik. Alhamdulillah, he got he grades back. As and Bs…nothing less. Markah dia di sekolah nih adalah report homework dia tuh. Jadi kalau As, dia tak lupa homework…sume beres. Bagus!

Hadiah? Ish..minggu lepas dah bawa dia pergi ke Dave & Busters. Joli katak lah dia tuh dengan Masturah. Semalam, kita berikan dia CD 'Bowling for Soup', baseball bat dan Razor Scooter. Hai…dia bawak tidur scooter tuh! Meriah sungguh.

Semalam dia potong kek. You know, each time when its his birthday, and we have the cake in front of him, he has that glow on his face, just like when he was 1. That baby glow…my baby glow.

Selamat Hari Lahir yang ke 13 Abdul Mathein. Ibu sayang kamu!
