The “Karipap Bribe” – How to Get Your Kids Up for School

Struggling to wake the kids up for school? You’ve tried everything—calling their name, shaking them gently, even the classic “school is starting!” But nothing works. Enter the secret weapon: karipap.

Yes, you read that right. The delicious, crispy karipap could be your magic trick to get those sleepyheads out of bed.

Why Karipap?

The smell alone is enough to stir anyone from their sleep! Imagine placing a plate of freshly fried karipap next to your child’s bed. One whiff and they’re up in a flash, ready for school like it’s a holiday!

How to Do It:

  1. Don’t Show It Too Soon: Let the smell do the waking up.
  2. Place It Just Out of Reach: Make them get up to grab that karipap.
  3. Make It Fun: Tell them, “Only those who are ready for school get the karipap!”

Alternatives:

Not a karipap fan? Try roti canai, kaya toast, or even pisang goreng. Any tasty snack can do the trick!

Conclusion:

Yes, it’s a bribe, but hey, it works! The next time your kids refuse to wake up, grab a karipap and watch them jump out of bed with a smile. Mornings just got a whole lot easier!
