Apartment

(Conversation between a mother and her son - a junior secondary school student - overheard by my sister Jenny - with seasoning by a malicious nephrologist.)

"Mum, do you remember my classmate Peter? His father really loves him. You know, his father bought an apartment and reassured him that this new flat will be left for him, so that Peter will not have to worry about his living when he graduates!"

The mother was dumbfounded.

But she was also quick-witted. In no time, she pulled herself together and said, "Really? That's brilliant. My dear, that's why you must study well and work hard - so that you can afford buying an apartment for your son in the future!"
