Does my baby have to be a genius?
By Zan Azlee

MARCH 23 — A couple of days ago, I was having lunch with a friend at our favourite “skip-work-for-a-couple-of-hours” mamak restaurant. Now, we both have kids. I have one-year-old Athena while he has four-year-old Mya and one-year-old Hamka. We’ve known each other since our puberty and our conversations have gone from porn actresses when we were teens to parenting now that we’re in our thirties.

“Just the other day, Mya was telling me that she’ll be working at CERN* in Switzerland when she grows up,” he said.

“Yeah? And where did Hamka say he’ll be working when he grows up?” I asked.

“He’ll be in Paris.”

“Let me guess. He’ll be a famous artist?”

“Damn right! Then, during the holidays, they’ll get together somewhere in central Europe where their mother and I can come visit.”

“Well, Athena told me the other day that she plans to rent a room in Kabul to cover World War 10 as a hotshot freelance war correspondent!”

“Yup! Our kids are going to be geniuses!” [Click to read the full article at The Malaysian Insider]
