Eh, betul la. Buat apa nak tipu

  Isn't it wonderful when a little niece, nephew or other small relative comes to stay, especially when they are at the age when they believe every word you say. Whole afternoons can be used up, telling them tall tales and downright lies, so that they can go back and confuse the hell out of their parents at a later date.

These are the ones I used on my brother. He's 6 years old.

1. You"re going to grow a mustache someday because you have hair up in your nose

Uhh tulis dalam melayu lah senang. :D Me no speak good english.

2. Adik jangan bubuh shampoo dekat badan. Kalau tak nanti rambut tumbuh banyak kat badan adik macam kat kepala.

3. Adik jangan guna kau aku dengan kawan. Cakap bodoh pun tak boleh (kira perkataan yang mencarut la). Nanti polis tangkap.

4. Adik kena pakai seluar dalam. Kalau tak nanti bird adik jatuh 

5. Don't swallow watermelon seeds, or watermelons will grow in your stomach. Kalau tak tembikai pun, betik. Depends on what fruit my brother is eating at that particular time.

And then these are some which people used on me.

1. Jangan asah pensel at both ends. Kalau tak mak awak umur pendek.

2. Eating carrots will improve my eyesight enough to see in the dark.

3. Jangan main congkak malammalam. (Depending on what I am playing at that time). Otherwise ghosts will come and play it with you.

4. Jangan tengok tv dekatdekat. Kalau tak nanti mata jadi bentuk kotak

5. This one was my mum's. It made me very depressed. I had my first period when I was 11. "Hah, itulah. Menggatal lagi dengan lelaki. Kan dah datang haid." she said. When I was little my mum kept telling me kalau tumbuh jerawat kat muka atau datang haid awal maknanya perempuan tu is behaving inappropriately. As I grew up, my mum said she said those things in order to make me behave. HA-HA.

6.Another one from my mum. This is used when I get bad grades in primary school. "Kakak ni, mainmain sangat. Tengok mak. Mak dulu asyik dapat nombor satu je. Semua mak masuk mak dapat nombor satu." 

  

  I just told another lie to my brother. 

  "Adik, if you drink soymilk, it makes your skin fairer."

  "Betul ke kakak?"

  "Eh, betul la. Buat apa nak tipu." Heh heh heh.

Any more downright lies out there?
