AYAH

My Uncle Mark sent me this in an e-mail. This little analogy for me, clearly shows how absurd, how lacking in logic, the people behind the latest political row in Malaysia, are.

A man came home from work and his children ran to him and called out “Ayah! Ayah!”

His neighbour got very upset and said to him, “Can you please tell your children not to call you “Ayah?”

The man asked, “Why?”

The neighbour retorted, “Because my children call me Ayah too. They might get confused and mistake you for their father.”

Then the man told his neighbour, are you not ashamed to say that your children do not know who their Ayah is?

So you are saying by using the word Ayah, your children will call me Ayah too without knowing who their father is?

The neighbour said, "Yes! Only my children should use the word Ayah. "

The man said, "Then there is something wrong in what you are teaching your children. They are not sure and do not know who their Ayah is!"
