Once in a while, depending on their request, I’d print out colouring pictures for Afiq and Mariessa. So last night:

Mariessa: Mama.. malam ni boleh kaler tak?

Mama: Hmmm… OK… boleh.

Mariessa: Yey!

Mama: Kakak nak colour cartoon apa?

Mariessa: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…..Hmmmmmmmmm…. (sambil senyum simpul)… Hmmmmmmmmm… Haaaaaa.. Kakak nak daibalidai!

Mama: Hah? Apa tu? Cuba kakak cakap lagi sekali?

Mariessa: Daibalidai! Mama tak tau ke?

Mama: Daibalidai? Tak pernah dgr pun? Cuba Kakak cakap lagi sekali, cakap slow slow.

Mariessa: Daiiiiii-baaaaaaa-liiiiiiiii-dai!

Mama: Errrr… Abang, Kakak cakap kartun apa ni?

Afiq: DaiDALIDai lah Mama. Yang dalam air tu!

Mama: Eh? Kartun baru ke? Mama tak pernah dengar pun?

Shahril (who’s lying on the bed prentending he was asleep): Dive Dolly Dive! Kartun kapal selam!

(Guess who’s been watching cartoons lately? :P)

Mama: Ohhh… OK… Nanti Mama tengok dulu kalau ada ke tak ok? Abang Afiq… Abang nak colour cartoon apa?

Afiq: Hmmm….. Abang…..

Mariessa: Haaaaa… Abang! Abang! Kakak tau! Abang colour lah.. IGER-TOWN-IRO.

Shahril: Hah? Kakak… cerita apa tu?

Afiq: Iggytown iro la ayah!

Mama: Haaaaaa…. yang tu Mama tau… bukan igertowniro la Abang, Kakak….. Higglytown Heroes!

(Mama = 1, Ayah = 1)

So I searched for Dive Dolly Dive.. and couldn’t find it…

Turns out…. it’s:

Duh! It’s OLLY!

Shahril: Ayah pun dah pelat macam anak2!

And in case anyone is in the dark, like Shahril… :P
