Dinner time at our place. Shorty is preparing some food at the dining table. I pull my chair back without realizing her foot is in the way of the chair. So I go over it.
Shorty: ARRRRGGHHHH!!! FATTY!!! WHY YOU ALWAYS HURT ME LIKE THAT WAN! BE MORE CAREFUL LA… I TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES ALREADY.. BE MORE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS LA! *when Shorty speaks, her voice is low… but when she scolds, she does so in a very high-pitched voice*
Me: I didn’t know mah I’m just pulling my chair back like normal what am I supposed to do. How I know your foot is there?
Shorty: Be more aware la! Of course my foot is there. You always knocking me around one.
Me: Ok la ok la sorry la.
*starts to eat dinner while watching a scene in Lost where Sun is giving birth*
Me: Wah when you see things like this, do you get scared of child birth?
Shorty: No.. just knock me out completely.
*Shorty gets up to get some soup and gives me a stare on the way up*
Shorty: I haven’t forgiven you yet.
Me: Aiyo this Shorty… look at this Shorty. Aiyo aiyo aiyo see that face. Look at that face? Let me get my phone and take a picture of this face.
Me: Aiyo aiyo look at this face.. so grumpy… so annoyed. Look here at the camera.
Shorty: Don’t talk to me. I’m still angry at you.
