I just have to wonder...
A three-year-old is supposed to hold a speech?

Also, your boss is horrible, and I don't think I would have managed not to snap back. She should consider taking English lessons from you, too. That would be amusing!

Yeah, I've got four kids aged three or just-turned-four who are supposed to stand up and give speeches. I've also got a bunch of five and six year olds.

I think I've decided to start correcting my boss's more heinous errors. This should be fun.

Oh dear God. I might appear choleric by Nalan's standards.

Oh, the pain of the stupidity. Painful I tell you. And isn't it disturbing that the chic who runs the school to teach eng actually said "I have care of that" and didn't mean she was taking responsibility for the remedying of the situation, which is the only almost right response...

Scary, isn't it? I have a bunch of photos of the instructions she's scribbled on the whiteboard, which I will post sometime.

I say you should go on correcting her and become severely nit-picky with her English the very last few days XD And somewhere in there maybe tell her "But you don't want to sound like an idiot, do you? I'm trying to help," along with the innocent puppy eyes.
::rolls eyes slightly at mother:: Don't you love when parents expect you to be mind readers? And you must have looked adorable comforting a little kid ^_^ But, yeah, I don't think having three-year-olds doing speeches is too much of a stretch, just don't expect anything ground-breaking XD you should teach one of them to say "Wemonade, pees."
You know that little kid might be attached to you for the rest of your time there, right? ^_^;

WEMONADE~ :D

It's just that the three year olds can't really remember their speeches without prompting and they're all really shy. But whatever, you know. It'll be over by Monday.

I wonder if you can get film... well, it probably won't be exciting except I might be amused.

Some people videotape it, but since Chemistry Boy isn't going to present (he's been sick the past couple of weeks), there really isn't a single speech I give enough of a flying fuck about.
