What the hell?

Okay, as the title well says

"WHAT THE HELL?!"

There's this thing with my dad, he gets very angry when we skip school -even if we are dying sick or whatever- and suddenly today, we were talking about news and events (such as the typical "an airplane crushed just the other day in *******, and the people died before it actually crashed, because the inflated the boat inside the plane, so they all got squished to death, how horribly stupid can the cabin crew get, for God's sake?") when he suddenly started talking about soccer teams buying soccer players and stuff like that. Then, just as unexpectedly he goes

"Chile is playing Brazil tomorrow morning. 9 a.m. local time here in Singapore. -pause- Therefore, feel free to stay at home to watch it with me."

Obviously, I couldn't help it but to stare at him with a strange expression sweeping across my face. He stared at me for a long while, then says "What?"

I composed myself and said the following

"Would it be okay then if I stayed at home until the game finished and got to school before recess finishes?"

To this comment, he proceeded to stare at me as though I was a retard child.

"What? And waste money on the taxi? No thank you."

"Okay, so you want us to miss the whole day of school?"

"What? You're not missing school"

"But you just said--"

He probably found something amazingly funny, maybe my face or something, but he burst into laughter, and my brothers joined him while my mum and I stared blankly, wondering what on earth made them laugh like psychos.
"What are you laughing at?"
I glared at my little brother.
"Oh, God, you should have seen your face! It was the most retarded thing I've ever seen!"
"Yeah, thanks, have you ever seen a mirror?"
"Why, yes, I see them every day, and I can't help it but to stare at the sexy beast who stares right back at me while I do so."
"What the flip? Sexy beast? HOW OLD ARE YOU?!"
I screamed, rather amused to hear my brother use such words.
And, probably I pulled that face again, the three of them burst into laughter. But this time, my mum joined them with a giggle.
I gave a big, tired sigh and began eating again.
After lunch, I dedicated myself to draw and colour a drawing inspired on Alice in wonderland, which is almost done now, haha, such joy.
Yes.
Yes.
I think that's it for today.
Hmm...
Yes.
Be healthy, now, children.
Run along.
