pepper paper

I think im the only one who have trouble differentiating Wani's pronunciation in words. The others are just fine with it except for me. Before the brain cell 'incident' there was another, we'll call it the pepper paper 'incident'. Just thinking about it makes it so tongue tied.

Anyways, we (Riz, Shaf, Wani, Diyan and I) decided to go for a picnic on the small all-year-round summer island of Singapore. Originally the negophiles were invited but as usual, the others were busy. Its so hard to meet one another nowadays. Back to the topic... we planned on making our own food instead of wasting money again so we decided to meet at my place at i dont know around 10? I cant really remember. I woke up early for them, how nice was i?

They came to my place, unlucky for them it was a Sunday that means my whole family member is at home. We cooked (mostly me) and we needed pepper. I had WHITE pepper in the kitchen but what i had in mind was BLACK pepper because black pepper was what i need but we just said pepper because you know, we dont want to be racist and shit even though its just pepper. Wani, always being the helpful and kind one, volunteered to buy the pepper. As she was about to leave, she turned and asked

"Huda, you got pepper or not? Go check first before wasting money again"

As you guys can tell, at that point i heard paper.

"Huh? You want paper?"

And again, i confidently went to my room to go take a piece of paper and passed it to her. Wani hesitantly took the paper with a confused look. The best part was that my father saw the whole thing and laughed. I looked at my dad and giggled because you know, laughing is contagious especially my dad's laugh.

"Pepper Huda pepper."

"Ya lah, paper. There" I pointed at the paper i gave her.

"Ya'allah! Pepper!"

My dad interfered and explained to me that Wani was trying to say 'pepper' not 'paper'. I can tell he is trying his best not to laugh at me. I looked at my dad and i fell on the floor laughing so hard that Shaf and Riz came out from the kitchen and laughed at me because you know, laughing is contagious.

"Ouuuuuh! Pepper! Say lah"

" Yah! I say already what! Pepper! You give me this paper for what?!"

I told her that i do have pepper but it's white. She came in saying that white or black, it is still pepper and we continued cooking.

What a waste of paper actually.
