kids and puberty.


had lunch with celest the tard just now. we waited ONE HOUR for the bus and then decided that we didn't want to take the bus after all. very smart. [:

taught Health Ed today.
it was about puberty. ohmygod. haha the kids were super ticklish & squeamish man.
any mention of the words "breasts", "pubic" or "penis" would send them into fits of giggles & shrieks.
they'd go, "Eeeeeee!!!! so disgusting!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!"
haha it was very amusing. and extremely difficult to teach.
i had to say things like," stop screaming. it's very normal. your parents & elder siblings go through it too!" & they'd go, "EEEEWWW. YUCKS!" or something along that line. haha. time to grow up kiddos.

anyway, one of the PE teachers were absent the other day & i had to take over his PE classes.
since i was neither certified nor dressed to teach PE, i told the kids to take out a piece of paper and on the board i drew:

and told them to draw Mr Teng (the PE teacher)/ write him a Get Well Soon card, and to write down their name & class (3 Pearl) on the bottom of their drawing.
the kids had fun drawing so i thought i'd repeat it for the next class i was teaching which was 3 Opal.

so i went into the classroom beside 3 Pearl (coz the map of the school showed that 3 Opal was beside 3 Pearl) & just before i stepped in, i glanced briefly at the sign above the door & it said, " 3 O-something" so i thought, "okay this must be the right class."

and i repeated my instructions & told them to draw Mr Teng and they asked, "Who's Mr Teng??"
haha and i was like, "YOUR PE TEACHER LA!" and they said their PE teacher was Mr Tan.
then i thought that i was supposed to take over Mr Tan's lessons as well so i said," okay then draw Mr Tan! And at the bottom of your drawing, write your name, & write 3 Opal."
AND THEN THEY SAID," HUH? BUT WE ARE NOT 3 OPAL!"
hahaha omg then it was like:

me: "HUH?? OMG THEN WHO ARE YOU??"
them: "WE ARE 3 ONYX!"
me: "HUH THEN WHERE IS 3 OPAL??!"
them: "THE OTHER SIDE!"
me: "OH MY GOD!!!"
*runs out to see the sign above the door* (yes it said extremely clearly, 3 Onyx)
me: "oh no omg i'm so sorry kids i'm in the wrong class!"
them: *burst into laughter* very. very. loud. laughter :(

then one of them said, " anyway, now isn't even PE.."
and i was like, "GEE THANKS MAN. NOW THEN YOU TELL ME -.-"
and i hurriedly said, "okay okay i need to go to 3 Opal now. bye bye."
and they started laughing again. so mean okay. :(

anyway, i told the kids that they could also draw anything else they wanted to draw & some of the kids drew me! haha here are some of the drawings:

done by the girls [:



and these were done by the boys. so cute right. :D



initially Ivan drew me as a stick woman & i asked him, " Ivan, where are my clothes??"
and he giggled & drew me a triangle for a skirt.
nevermind that my skirt's kinda transparent. at least i have a skirt now.
