on sunday i met a lot of babies and i actually fell in love with many of them. the people who know me well know that i have a love-hate relationship with kids. i always talk lotsa crap with them cos im secretly very childish but when they become brats (which is majority of singaporean kids) i wanna turn them upside-down and smack their butts. thats why i believe you cannot be too chummy with kids cos you have to strike a balance between being a disciplinarian and a friend. haha.
the situation was very messy cos everyone was rushing to their seats so i told a blur bogey P1 boy, jayden, to put his stuffs down on the chair. he looked at me blurly and said
"I am in love.."
"har?"
confused cos joyce only introduced him to me 20 minutes ago and he was feeding me the depths of his soul.
"wah really! who ah?"
"I am in love…"
"hee hee ok you sit down first ok! later tell me who you love hehee."
he didn't end up in joycie's class. but there were two super charming boys KW and ryan who kept trying to guess my age and concluded that i am 1 year old and they kept squirming on the table like worms.
we were studying the book of Esther and it was a mess. ivan kept jumping about hugging joyce who was trying to understand the relationship between Esther and Mordecai and Hadassah and the kids made her even more confused heh and then ryan started gossiping with me about his 2 'girlfriends' who keep
pestering him even though he doesn't like them that way and KW kept sniggering beside omg.
joyce drew a broken heart.
ryan: why is the heart broken?
me: King Xerxes is looking for a new wife cos he's angry with his wife!
ryan: oh, so that his heart will be whole again!
me: yes! but that's still not right! if you're angry with your wife will you look for a new wife?
ryan: no of course not! i will give her 5000 chances. no 5 million. 5 million zillion! no, infinity chances!
me: :)
and then ivan continued to jump around and hug joyce and ryan and KW continued squirming on the table and it became even messier. but at the end of the day what i realized was that this was no T**. i don't have to grill them for a lame national exam which i don't believe in, i don't have to fit their thoughts into a piping bag and make them squeeze them out in a perfect swirl like when i train my kids for composition, i don't have to force them them to write notes on their assignments just so their parents would be satisfied that the teacher is 'doing her job' in the classroom. i am just here to make the kids enjoy sundays and church and to love God and his people.
so anyway, after class i told joycie about jayden so we called him over and made him confess his love.
"jayden, you're in love? who ah who ah!"
"nooo.."
"i thought just now you told hx you're in love right?"
"i am in 1 Love.."
hahahhah, CHEY. so he is in Class <1 Love>. LOL.
so today i realized that i don't really dislike kids. ihavethisdyingurgetopinchsoftflabbycheeks.
it'll be really cute to have kids with the loveofmylife. :)
