Lately, my son has this one habit. If he is playing with his toys, and suddenly an insect (such as ants, flying ant) came nearby, he will pick it up and give it to us.
He'll just say that "ma, look at this" and he'll put on our palm.
Being me, most of the time i'll just frightened, but i wont freak out, like melatah, pukul or others...
But last saturday, as usual he was playing and i'm watching tv. Calling me, he said ' ma, caterpillar'. Never thought of anything, i just used my hand, and do gestures like caterpillar, u know the like the cacing type. Then he repeated again, ' ma, caterpillar'. and I said 'ok, come let's play ur train'
suddenly, he's showing me, "ma' look!" and he's not showing ant or flying ant or others!. Its a centipede!! Ya Allah! the centipede is trying to escape itself from my son's finger.
I was freak out, and ask my son to give it to my husband. My husband quickly killed the centipede.
I brought him to wash his hands and while that... i was very grateful that
- its a small centipede
- my son was holding on its bottom part
- he didn't get any itchiness at his fingers
- Nothing harmed my son.
My little charmer does not know what these little dangerous creatures can harm. May Allah protect him..
