Attention and Deviation

Upon seeing some mistakes made by the daughter in her homework, a very awkward conversation between mother and daughter pursuit.

 

Mother : Who invented the Sun?

 

Daughter : Allah.

 

Mother : Then, why you wrote "Manusia"?

 

Daughter : I don't know.

 

Mother : Who invented the bicycle?

 

Daughter : Men.

 

Mother : Then, why you wrote "Allah"?

 

Daughter : (Long silence). Maybe confused. Suddenly, Mama - what you want to be when you grow up?

 

Mother : What do you mean what I want to be?

 

Daughter : You want to be a lawyer? Doctor? Teacher?

 

Mother (utterly confused with that 1 golden question and trying to find the best answer) : I have way passed that age, you know. I want to relax at home, go vacation and you to take care of me.

 

Daughter : Hmmmm......so, you want to become a manager?

 

Mother : That sounds OK.

 

Daughter : What does a manager do?

 

Mother (wondering how to best explain in the most diplomatically correct language understandable to a 6-year old) : Well, managers manage people.

 

Daughter :  (Long silence). Perhaps wondering what does the word "manage" means......

 

Is this what you call Deviation of Attention of the subject on pursuit in an attempt for escape? Or is it a case of reflecting the synergy of two subjects and try to reach a common ground? Pening lah.
