Farah had chicken pox recently and TheFather tried to apply calamine lotion on her.
Father: Mari sini. Ayah sapukan calamine lotion.
Farah: *recoils with horror* Tanak!
Father: *tries to coax and cajole and bribe*
Finally, Farah brought the broom out and passed it to her father.
(This will get lost in translation. It's because of the confusion over the meaning of 'sapu' - this has 2 meanings in Malay - spread (nutella on bread/calamine lotion on body etc) or sweep (the floor).
