Another whatever.

An Indian man- a parent came to interrogate me as to why his son got a minor injury during a tussle with another boy. Came with crossed arms and raised his voice at me. Kurang ajar. Tak de adat.

He tried a typical scare-the-teacher tactic by saying," I want to see your principal. I want to make a complain."

Oh puh-lez!!Apa you think I will shiver in fear?!! Common lah, kau ingat aku budak, nak momok momok kan.Kepala hotaklah. You think I'm afraid? ....tolong sikit lah beb...lu gi relak one corner...

I rolled my eyes and I told him squarely,'" GO AHEAD. She's in her room."

He backed off.

Then, I had to explain to him the whole incident - of course in a tone I would use to explain a 4 year old.

Then he sheepishly smiled and tried to change the topic. How typical. No word of apology. No word of thanks to the teacher who ran up and down rendering first aid to your dah-ling spawn.
