RASANYA, keluarga Malaysia yang kini menetap Birmingham, United Kingdom (UK) ini tidak perlu diperkenalkan lagi.

Gelagat bijak tiga beradik, Fatimah, Ali dan Omar, menerusi akaun Instagram yang dikendalikan ibu bapa mereka, @thefamily.uk, menjadi hiburan yang menceriakan.

Terbaru, satu video dimuat naik ke akaun Instagram itu yang memaparkan keletah Ali yang melakukan role play sebagai doktor, cuba merawat masalah alergi yang dihadapi kakaknya, Fatimah.

Apa yang menggeletek hati ramai bukan sahaja aksi comel kedua-dua mereka, tetapi juga penggunaan perkataan 'gapoever' yang digunakan Fatimah.

Ali sebelum itu memberikan bermacam-macam nasihat kepada kakaknya, antaranya 'berhenti makan piza, biar saya sahaja habiskan piza'.

Reaksi Fatimah di penghujung video itu spontan, apabila melontarkan perkataan 'gapoever' kepada Ali.

Fatimah and Ali both love imaginative play. One of their favourites is playing doctor! They have hours of fun checking and treating each other! . Imaginative play is very important for children’s development. For a start, it helps build social skills. Another benefit of imaginative playing is that it increases creativity. They can make up the story of their own make believe adventure - there are no limits! Also, imaginative playing allows kids to have a taste of the 'grown-ups’ world. They learn more about real-life situations through play! . As parents, we should avoid pushing our ideas into their play. Just let their imagination run wild and free! Don’t worry if it doesn’t make any sense to you. Remember, it’s imaginative play! When you interrupt to correct them, you’ll stop their creativity as they might feel afraid that they will make mistakes. If they are stuck for ideas, support them by asking questions to stimulate their creativity. Maybe you might want to kick off the story and let them take it from there. . We always love to get involved in our children’s play because we get to treasure the precious moments that become the memories of their childhood and it’s also part of our bonding time. The kids absolutely love it when we get involved in their play, and as a result, they will respond better when we ask them to get involved in other things around the house - it’s like give and take! . So overall, imaginative play is a bit of bonding time and getting to know your child’s personality. Whatever the situation, it will surely enhance your child’s learning and let everybody have fun at the same time. Why not try it with your child today? . “Children take their play business seriously - play along!" . #wisemomsays Written by Mrs Mom - a mother of 3 amazing kids! I’m not a parenting expert.

Ketika artikel ini ditulis, video yang dimuat naik ke akaun yang memiliki lebih 338,000 pengikut itu sudah menerima lebih 100,000 tontonan.

Ibu mereka, Nor Ashila Mahamed Ismail, ketika dihubungi memberitahu, ini kali pertama perkataan 'gapoever' digunakan.

"Mereka (Fatimah dan Ali) memang sudah biasa mencampurkan ayat bahasa Inggeris dengan dialek Kelantan.

"Nak diikutkan, 'gapoever' kali pertama digunakan, tapi bukan perkataan pertama yang terhasil dari gabungan bahasa Inggeris dan dialek Kelantan," katanya.

'Gapoever' merupakan gabungan dua perkataan, 'gapo' yang bermaksud apa dalam dialek Kelantan, serta perkataan bahasa Inggeris ever, dan gabungan ini merujuk kepada ekspresi whatever dalam bahasa Inggeris, bermaksud 'apa sajalah'.

Perkataan itu tiba-tiba sahaja menjadi trending di laman sosial, dan ramai yang tidak dapat menahan rasa lucu tetapi dalam masa yang sama kagum dengan kebijaksanaan dan kreativiti Fatimah.
