In the office,
ME: "Where is Nate? I haven't seen him in a while." (he always go to our room, work related of course)
MY MANAGER: "He's sick, kena campak itu dia" (translate: he got measles)
ME: "Serius? HAHAHAHAHAH udah tua juga." (translate: Seriously? Hahahahaha he's way too old to get measles). "Wait, is it the same with chicken pox?"
MY MANAGER: "No, chicken pox is different."
MY TEAMMATE: "Yah, it's different Icha."
ME: "I thought it's the same."
MY MANAGER: But they say if you already got chicken pox, you won't be affected anymore.
ME: "Nah, it's a hoax, my friend got chicken pox twice." (Yes Dini, I was talking about you.)
MY MANAGER: "I don't know why they called it chicken pox."
ME: "Yeah, it has nothing to do with chicken whatsoever. Or is it?"
MY TEAMMATE: At first I thought you got chicken pox because you eat bad chicken. Hahahaha.
MY MANAGER: It's because of virus right?
ME: Yeah, the chicken has done nothing wrong yet they named the disease after it.
MY MANAGER: Poor chicken.
ALL OF US: Poor chicken.
PS: My manager is also Indonesian (hah, how lucky I am), so sometimes we talk in Bahasa Indonesia instead of English.
