Abah : Where? Mira showed the gash on her arm. Abah went berserk! Abah : WHO? WHO? WHO? WHEN? WHEN? Mira : During PE. Abah : What happened? You know who? Mira : During PE, we were running. Someone accidentally scratch me. But I didnt see. Because I cant see. You see, I need to win right. So I didnt look. Pause Abah : You won? Mira : Yes. The advantage of being mamak - or being a mammal : Amirul : Abah, just now recess, Rifki came over hugging himself. Abah : mmmm Amirul : I asked him what happened. He said he was cold. Then he asked me whether I was cold. Abah : What did you say? Amirul : I said no, because I have hair on my body.
