But why mie-meen?

My dearest nephew, Dzhofier, is at the stage where he will ask "Why?" until he gets the right or rather satisfying answer. (sometimes annoying, most of the time, is cute).


Well, before we slept last night, he asked me to tell him a story about going to the hospital. Based on my experience last time, I told him the story when I was a toddler myself, I ran behind the backyard, tripped over a big rock, I cried, headed to the hospital, had several stiches + all. And then, he started asking the questions:


DF: Mie-Meen, why cannot run so fast on the grass?
MM: well, if you run so fast, you didnt see the rock, then you fall.. nanti ouch, have to go to the hospital.
DF: But why go to the hospital Mie-Meen?
MM: well, if you fall down, and you cut yourself, then the doctor have to stich you.
DF: But why doctor have to stich Mie-Meen?
MM: So that germs don't go inside your body, so that you won't be sick.
DF: Why you don't want to be sick?
MM: Because, if you are sick, then you cannot play outside.
DF: But, I wanna play with you Mie-Meen, because I miss you!

It may not make sense, his questions & all.. but it made perfect sense to me.


Oh Dzhofier, you will always be my favourite bantal busuk..


Mie-Meen loves you!
