“Son, you have two machine guns. The first is your car 1.8CC. When you drive to college. Be careful and don’t speed!”
Mary showed him the front page of the daily news. “See? This young man plowed his car into a group of seven people at a bus stop! A car can be like a machine gun if not used carefully!”
Her son nodded. He just came back from college looking tired.
“The next machine gun I have always wanted to talk to you about is this. Don’t you go around shooting wild oats to any girl in college except the one who will bring me, my grandchildren!”
A quiet person, he nodded again and went into his room.
“Sis, such a crude way to tell about the birds and the bees to your son!” Mary’s sister remarked.
“Sigh! I wish my husband would do this job instead of me!” Mary went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
“So, have you spoken to your kids about the birds and the bees?”
“I think the ‘Youtube university’ may have already done it!“

Is this pup a pug? as I looked at the picture printed on my mug.
This Haiku is inspired by a story of a wrinkly pug ” The Pug.” while I was drinking my mug of coffee.
Quotes:-
1. The pug is [a] living proof that God has a sense of humor- Margo Kaufman
2. A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself- Josh Billings
Terjemahan Google – Pug pada cawan saya
Adakah anak anjing ini pug?
semasa saya melihat gambar
yang dicetak di cawan saya.
Haiku ini diilhamkan oleh kisah tentang kutu “The Pug.” semasa saya minum cawan kopi saya.

Of course, boys can cry! (Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com)
Of course, boys can cry!
Face flushed as blood gushed,
watery saltiness felt,
behind nose and eyes.
"Are you OK, dear?"
No, please don't make me cry more!
But thanks, for being here!
"It's OK to cry!"
"That's because you are a girl!
They say boys don't cry!"
"I have seen dad cry.
In history, great men cried.
Of course, boys, can cry!"
This Haiku tells why boys and men can and should cry, as great men did, too, in history! God makes tears for a reason! So, it’s OK to cry!
Quotes:-
Tears are God’s gift to us. Our holy water. They heal us as they flow. – Rita Schiano
My body needs laughter as much as it needs tears. Both are cleansers of stress.Mahogany SilverRain
“Atuk, kenapa kamu tidak memakai coli?” “Kerana saya lelaki. Lelaki tidak memakai coli.” “Kenapa lelaki tak payah pakai coli?” “Kerana masyarakat menentukan demikian.” “Adakah sebab itu ramai wanita dapat kanser payudara? Dan lelaki tidak dapat kanser payudara? “ “…er… Lelaki juga, tapi jarang sekali. ” Kalau begitu, wanita tidak patut pakai coli lah!” “..!!!”
Pada tahun 2018, dianggarkan 627,000 wanita meninggal dunia akibat barah payudara di seluruh dunia – itu adalah sekitar 15% daripada semua kematian akibat barah di kalangan wanita … dan ia masih meningkat. Ia jarang berlaku pada lelaki, sekitar 1% sahaja.
