Let's joke for a moment

A mother ask her son

* Do you want a cookie, Rens?
   Since there is no answer from her little son, she asks again.
* Rens, do you want a cookie?
   why must I ask you twice?
# Because, mama, I want two cookies!

* Excus me, could you tell me the way to the museum?
# The History Museum or the Art Museum?

# You go straight ahead, turn right, and then take the second
   turning on the left. Keep going along there, across one junction, and it's 
   right there on your left.
* I go straight ahead, turn right, and then take the second turn on the left.

# You are right.

Ahmad proudly tells his mother

* Mother, I got one-hundred in two subjects.
# Fine, Ahmad. What were they?
* Forty in history and sixsty in arithmetic.
huu..h!
The teacher is asking an aritmatic question


* Dino, if you found four hundred rupiahs in your right pocket and
   three hundred rupiahs in your left pocket, what would you do?
# I would wear someone else's pants. 

All the kids were trying to impress Grandpa,       who had come for a visit

Lily boasted saying:
* I'm first in aritmetic, grandpa
Soleh said he had come in first in the spelling bee
Grandpa asked little Dana
* What are you firs in, Dana?
# Well, I'm the first one out the door when the bell rings.
