Peter and Jane....anyone..?

On Tuesday night, my son Opi came home jumping..as usual.
Then quickly Husband asked him...

Husband : "Exams results dah dapat?"
Opi stopped short on his tracks.
Husband : "Mana?"

Opi quietly produced his results...I stared at the scene from far. yet I could still see a lot of Ds and Es. Alamak!!

Dinner and the whole night were practically filled with a lot of "why this" and "why that"...we just couldn't comprehend why Opi got such low marks.

Afterwards..when everybody went to sleep, I went through his exams papers once again...

Mak ooi! Crazy apa???
The maths papers got a lot of lengthy questions...the poor kid had to be able to read like a pro if he wants to answer those. The Bahasa papers showed four pictures of similar looking, badly drawn pictures...how on earth would a child know which one is 'good morning, mother" against "thank you, Ms Devi"...

Why oh why...?

Am I alone?
