METTA

In one of those usual playful banters in the car with 4 children & 3 adults

Hazim: Hakim, stop it ah! You very naughty, I send you to metta school then you know!

Hakim: bleargh!

Me: Metta School? Only for special children (read: e.g. low IQ, with learning disability etc), right? Hazim, don’t be mean ok?

Hazim: Hakim should go there!

Hakim: bleargh!

My bro: yeah, don’t make fun of children like that k. They’d probably get to go to heaven first – don’t need to count deeds you know.

Hazim & Hakim: I want to go to Metta school

Me: I don’t think getting to heaven got anything to do with the school you attend. You are normal mah.
