Interesting point

Alec was playing Wii..
1 Astuti: "Alec bisa ngga ajarin mba' gimana ngeluarin gun-nya? Mba belum bisa main game yang ini lho" (Can Alec teach me how to get the gun out? I don't know how to do with this game")
Alec: "Di coba-coba aja. Pertama-tama aku juga ngga tahu. Tapi aku pencet-pencet yang mana aja, terus bisa sendiri. Yuk kita belajar sama-sama" (Just try to play it anyway. I didn't know what I was doing at the beginning either. I just push any button, then I know. Come on, let's learn together)
Alec handed Astuti the controller...
Alec: "Kalau mau nembak, aku pencet ini. Kalau mau hide aku pencet ini. Dan kalau mau lompat pencet ini sama ini barengan. Ngerti, ngga?" (If I want to shoot, I push this button. If I want to hide, I push this button. And if I want to jump, I push this button and this button together. Do you understand?)

Still playing Wii...
2. Alec: "Mama, ini bacaannya apa? Aku ngga ngerti" (Mom! What does it say? I don't understand)
Me: "Makanya Alec practice nulisnya yang rajin. Jadi bisa baca tulisannya apa. Kadang-kadang itu ngasih tau Alec mesti gimana. Ajarin Alec jalan pintas yang gampang" (That's why you need to practice writing your letters and numbers. Sometimes the game tells you what to do. To teach you some tricks).
Suddenly it clicks to him the point of learning reading and writing. So sad...
