Dengan Yos, aku berkata, "You should appreaciate him coz he tried his best to speak in English." Tapi memang namanya anak ada yang model kritis macam Yos, dia tanya lagi, "But Miss, you never see a giraffe playing a tab, right?" (Tetep ngotot)
Dan perlu jawaban bijak yang cukup bisa dimengerti bocah berusia 5 tahun ini. Aku menjawab, "Rizal wants to explain that he saw ‘one day with a giraffe’ at his tab at home, and tried to tell about the film. But because his english is still improving he can’t explain more details, not like you, Yos." Dan dengan senyum Yos menjawab, "Ooowww... I see. Thank you Miss.”
Mmmmhhh....memang kadang diperlukan jawaban paling tepat untuk sebuah pertanyaan paling mudah dari seorang anak.
