Of flu and cough

When I was a kid and got sick, I don't have to tell dad that I was, cos he'd know and give med stat, which not-kids-friendly. There was a time where I even hold my hingus pretended to be fine, so he doesn't know and I won't have to swallow the super-bitter syrup or tablet.
When I was in primary school, I only go to the clinic to skip class. There were only two MAs. I was hoping dad's collegue would attend me, but the PPK recognised my last name; mission failed. Dad was calling from his room, "NANIE NATASHA; aikk??". I went in slowly, pura2 tarik hingus, pretended I was sick and sat down without orders. Dad was like, "aik, ko kenapa?? okay pun ko tadi pagi. Demam ka?". I said, "ee pening kpla sa sma mcm ada hingus...". Dad went, "yakah atau ko mls skolah ni..". CHECKMATE! hahahaa
