Toothless witch.

That's how my friend, Fishman addressed me that day on msn. Nice. I like.

Yesterday, I gave my son 1 buck to buy an exercise book. His teacher warned them whoever doesn't have a new exercise book no.2 will get 5 beatings on his hand. Talk about who's the witch. I'm not sure if she is toothless or not.

The book costs only 60 cents, as such, I told him he should give me back the change later after school. He knows I mean business, can't simply claim the change is his.

School ended, the first thing he told me "this boy buy book together with me, then he forgot to take his book, then he take my book said it's his, then I go to the book shop to ask to take back the book, but the uncle said, cannot, take already, cannot take another one away, then I have no more 60 cents, then only my good friend (the one who betrayed him before) lent him 20 cents and I buy another one for myself, so no change for you". Sounds fishy? I think so, but nah.. trust him this time.

He didn't make it so clear the first time, oh dear, the way he talked, I am getting really worried. I have to ask him questions step by step understanding the whole process, only the whole picture began to emerge.

Anyhow, I don't quite have good feelings about it. Sounds like a school bully to me, and gangsterism manners there. How can the boy just take away the book my son was holding claiming it's his? How can the blardy uncle at the book shop not settling things right for these kids? It seemed to me like he's taking advantage of their size and age. Hmm..

Then again, it's not a big deal to bring up to the headmistress and I shall let it to rest. Else, I'm going to don on my "toothless witch" costume (I sewed it overnight, plastic material, very flexible one) and teach some goody lessons to the boy and the uncle.
