"Pakcik marah?" "Eh, tidak! Aku gembira!"

Imagine this scenario. You ask your sister to buy you a chocolate bar. She asks you for the money to buy it. You don't have it, so you decide not to buy one. Instead, as a joke, you ask her to 'steal' one. This scenario happens often between me and my sis. Except today, my mum heard me say that, and despite the 'steal' comment being a joke, she decides to yell at me because she thinks I am really asking my sis to steal something. Now she's acting as if I'm a criminal who deserves to be spit on. This confirms what I keep thinking about my mom: that she really, really needs a sense of humour. And she wonders why I don't open up to her.....
