Short Skirt vs Short Pants

I wore skirt to work today. Skirt's length was up to my knee. On the way to class, it was raining. Tapir eyed me suspiciously and asked:

Tapir: Eh, you wear skirt not cold meh?
Me: No ah, where got cold.
Tapir: But .. but why not cold? To me I think it feels cold.
Me: You wear short pants cold or not ?
Tapir: No wor... in fact my short pants shorter than your skirt also don't feels cold.
Me: -_-"" then how come wear short skirt will be cold leh? (Cause it is breezier down there? ).

Tapir lapsed into laughter.
