How adorable!

(Baonghean) - Dad, buy me two packets of candied plums!

- Hey, this little girl, she's as small as a candy but she eats so much, her teeth are all black and decayed, and she's always eating snacks! Just one pack is enough!

- Dad, didn't you know my school prohibits bringing snacks into class? You had to buy two packs so that if the teacher confiscates them, you'll still have another one.

- After confiscating the candied plums, what do the teachers do with them, son? I don't see any student in your class who doesn't eat snacks! They have to confiscate the whole basket!

"Dad, that's a strange question. Of course they confiscated it to eat. At lunchtime, when we were napping, the teachers would gather around, eating and chatting. One day, I couldn't sleep because I needed to pee, and I peeked through my eyes and clearly saw them sharing my packet of candied plums, eating and praising them endlessly. Sometimes, after finishing them, they'd even run to the chubby lady at the school gate to buy more pickled guava, pickled starfruit, and dried beef to eat. And the teachers are also very fun-loving; they love reading comic books, Dad. The other day, Thanh, the nearsighted one in my class, brought a Doraemon comic book to class, and the teacher confiscated it. At lunchtime, I saw her take it out and read it, giggling."

- I imagined those female teachers with their glasses pulled down low to their noses, holding rulers like when I was in school. Turns out teachers these days are pretty trendy and adorable, huh? Oh, and don't tell Mom what you just said, okay?
