There are two mothers. One of them is the mother of 'kim cheong' and the other is the mother of 'ah beng'. While letting their kids play, the two started arguing about how much better one of them was. ah beng's mother started the argument. kim cheong's mother soon fuelled it.
ah beng's mother, or Mother 1, first tried to show off that ah beng was smart as he could know the whole story of a television show after watching it. In my opinion, many children nowadays could do the exact same thing as ah beng. In fact, Mother 1 is giving the impression that ah beng is a lazy person who sits around, watching television a lot. This does not show the attributes of a smart person.
Nowhere in the poem does Mother 1 talk about ah beng's academics. She may be showing off ah beng merely to get a good reputation. I feel that she has too much pride on herself.
