My daughter and I were watching Buletin Utama about issues of baby abandonment among teenagers when she suddenly asked me:
Help? Anyone?
" Mama, why are they throwing the baby at the dump site?"
" Because they don't want the baby ".
And then she paused, her eyes were focusing on the moving headlines below the TV screen. And then she caught me off guard with her curiosity..
" Mama, what does it mean by sex out of wedlock (seks luar nikah) ? "
" Err... " ( I was dumbstruck. Obviously unprepared for a 6 year old to bombard me with this sort of questions. I'm such a horrible hopeless mom! )
" Because they don't want the baby ".

Thanks Patricia for this order.
