i watched my dad tend to a butterfly.
it was flitting around the lights, a rare visitor to a bad place of attraction.
since it looked like it was going to get a concussion banging its head on the lights, we decided to switched them off.
it crash-landed into the night's dinner, which happened to be laksa.
my sis immediately ran off screaming (interesting, because she only started screaming when it hit the bowl and not when it hit the lights).
my dad, however, who meant well when he turned off the lights, rushed to fish it out of the gravy like a paramedic who just dropped the handles of the stretcher while the injured was on it.
he then brought it out to the corridor and tried to wipe it dry with tissue paper.
its wings were all stuck together and it couldn't do much except crawl around lopsided.
(it seemed to like the tissue paper.)
it was a rare sight - a grown man being exceedingly gentle to a flailing insect.
it made me smile.
when i last checked, the butterfly could open its wings but it wasn't flying around.
it made my sis and i remember the stuff in our old bio textbooks about oil spills and wings.
butterflies are so frail.
my mum thinks my dad has just lost all his karma he has worked so hard to achieve in his life.
i think (and i hope) he just gained some.
