Now in Melaka, whence we drove yesterday afternoon, for a kenduri & prayers for Mak. Lots of children around, which means lots of noise, most of it joyous, all of it raucous.
At one point in the late afternoon, with the main proceedings over, a frog found its way into the living room, and halfway up a wall. This filled Amni, Afnan & Maya, the three kids who happened to be around at the time, with a mixture of panic and excitement. They seemed to think it was Uncle Brian's job to remove the offending creature, but I honestly didn't see this task as coming under the specifications of any of my roles. Fortunately one of their bibiks (the maids) had the wherewithal to know how a broom and dustpan could be used to good effect in the emergency. Within two minutes of the removal of our uninvited guest the kids had devised some sort of jumping game in which one became a frog and the other two its screaming victims.
Not sure what the visiting frog made of all this. Don't think it was terribly impressed with us all.
