Between Emir and Cepot


My son Emir loves 'wayang golek' or traditional puppet from west Java, especially the puppet called Cepot. Cepot is the funniest character among the puppet, he has a funny red face and wear a 'blangkon' (traditional hat), black clothes and sarong. People always waiting the appearance of Cepot especially when he fought againts the 'buta' or giants. That's a very funny scene.

'Wayang golek', unfortunately is not suitable for children to watch, since they always using too many curse words (ughh I hate when they use that). Sundanese people were famous because they have a polite word for talking to parents or teacher but when they talked among their friends (mostly young peoples) is a normal thing to speak with harsh language even cursing is a natural thing.

Anyway...so even if Emir loves wayang, I still forbide him to watch the show unless it was specifically intended for children.
