Gotta Wash Your Hands..

Family Feast

I had a quick grocery shopping this morning before bringing the kids for ‘roti canai.’ Both Liya and Ajib love the dhall gravy. Ajib likes eating with his hands while Liya prefers fork and spoon. Liya often uses chopsticks for noodles, laksa, lo mein and spaghetti.

Liya has not finished her ‘roti telur’ yet when Ajib washed his hands, lips and cheeks. Liya and Ajib are prone to get rashes on the face. Ajib slowly walked towards me and took my hand. “Wash hands, Mama,” Ajib said, waiting for my answer. As I was turning on the tap water, Ajib hurriedly left. He was only showing me the way. His next target for hygiene-campaign would be his sister, Liya. ‘Thanks, Ajib’ I said for Ajib’s assistance. Not that I didn’t know my way but his ability to take me to the sink. It was voluntary and logical but I was pleased beause Ajib is barely 3 years old.

“If your hands are dirty, you might have germs. Germs can go into the stomache and cause tummy ache..” Once I caught Liya explaining to her younger cousins. Being the oldest has its benefits and ‘followers.’
