Another lesson on growing up
Amirul : Abah, I had by immunisation shots just now.
Abah : How was it?
Amirul : OK, just that my left arm a little numb. Its weak. I cant lift it and I cant feel it.
Abah : It will wear off. Shot on both arms?
Amirul : Yah
Abah : Then your right arm ok?
Amirul : Yes
Abah : What were the shots for?
Amirul : Rubella i think. But they said its for girls.
Abah : Then how come you got it? They thought you were a girl? (Dad trying to be funny.)
Amirul : Noooo. I dont know. Thats what I heard.
Abah : I think boys can have rubella shots as well. Its a common shot against rubella disease. (Hentam sahajalah!)
Amirul : Yah, something german...
Abah : German measles?
Amirul : Yes yes.
Ok I got back to being the all knowing. Feeling confident once again. There was a pause. Somehow I know there was something else coming.
Amirul : Then they check my private part!
Oh oh. Hmmmm...My mind was thinking how would they check? Flip it or what?
Amirul : And its a she that checked me! (with flailing arms)
Abah : That is embarassing.
Amirul : YAH! But it was for a second. She asked me to flip open my shorts and undies, took a look and that was it. (He showed me how it was done. IN THE CAR!)
Abah : Thats fast.
Amirul : Yeah. About a second like that.
Abah : What can they check in one second? (In my mind I was thinking are they checking whether you were a girl or boy.)
Amirul : Check for puberty.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Darn! Now my mind is thinking how does it look when its puberty.
Abah : Check for puberty? How to check for puberty? (I had to ask right?)
Amirul : See if got hair or not.
YA ALLAH! TOLONG LAH HAMBA MU INI! (GOD PLEASE HELP ME!)
Abah : But they checked so fast. How to see?
Amirul : Yeah. If they really were to check it will take longer then 1 second. Anyway, it be too small for them to see.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why I get myself into this...And why must I ask the next question????
Abah : But I thought you already reach puberty with chest hair growing?
Amirul : Chest reach puberty, the rest havent.
Serves me right!
