Vice Principal Deko wrote notes viciously on his pad paper about all the admonitions a parent had about a teacher. Both Muna and Amal knew of this well known fact and occasionally poked fun at him and his yellow pad paper for which he carried with him everywhere. "Yeah, we'll have this field trip under our belts" said Sister Muna. "Under our belts! I like that one," said Amal who occasionally repaired any of Muna's flawed idioms and raw American phrases. "Tea for Tat", said Muna one day on her way to the student's drinking fountain. " I think you mean Tit for Tat." "Oh, is it?" was always Muna's response. The Pakistani teacher seemed to be storing an endless amount of phrases somewhere beneath her blue flowered hijab.
