In Lieu of Children's Day

Conversation between my tuition kid, Beverly (the girl whose father called to 'F' me for scolding his daughter) and myself...

Beverly: T'cher, can I ask you a question?

Xing Jian: Sure. What?

B: You got celebrate Children's Day?

XJ: Errr...no. I not chu-ren I celebrate for what?

B: Umm..but...you watch Kids' Central mah...so u are chu-ren lor!

XJ: Watch Kids' Central means I am chu-ren ah?

B: Yah...

XJ: Oh. Then I am chu-ren lor...

**This was one of those totally random conversations that come up during tuition at Hougang.**

This month is my last month already. I don't want to teach there anymore...it's totally not worth the time and effort, all the travelling and getting scolded by disgruntled parents. I will however, miss the kids dearly...they're a good bunch...very very entertaining. ^_^
