Teaching is fun!. By teaching, I get surprises day after day. Just like this afternoon, I had a class with 5 kids. I didn't give any presentation since we'd have midterm test. When I came in to the class, I met 2 kids, clara and william. Then while waiting for the others, I decided to play 'spin the marker' combined with 'truth or dare', so I spinned the marker until it stopped, then someone who is pointed got a question to answer from each friend, if they couldn't answer, they would do everything their friends asked to. They started to think of difficult question. At first, their question was only like "who is your crush?" or "who is your father's name?", for kiddos those were kind of difficult to answer honestly. I chose to join the game because there were only 2 students. When we were playing at the early minutes, I never got pointed. after 5 minutes, other three students, kayleen, afi and glenn came and joined us. Unluckily, I got pointed, william was the first one excitedly gave me a question, I was shocked because of his veryyyy difficult question,
Will: "Ms, who was your great great grandfather's favorite movie star?"
Me: I hadn't even met my great grandfather in my real life, how was I supposed to know?. I tried some tricks but ended up failed so in the end, they won. I asked them what the would like me to do. Other surprises!, this was our conversation,
Will: "Ms, please show us your hair, I'm dying to see your hair"
Me: "are you joking? NO"
Will: "I'm not ms. I'm really curious about your hair, why do you wear a hat ms. are you bald?"
Me: "Yes, I've got no hair"
All: "You lieee"
Me: "Okay if you're dying to see my hair, please look carefully at selena gomez"
All: "Why?"
Me: "Because my hair looks really like her hair, haha"
All: "..." (Murmuring unclearly)
The kiddos didn't give up, they kept asking me to do weird things like "Ms. please crawl to the toilet with one foot", "Ms. please do headstand", "Ms. please lift a chair with only one of your feet", and many others unbelievable orders. In the end I was safe.
The marker was spinned again, that time william got pointed. Glenn gave him a very difficult question, unfortunately I forgot it :(. William failed too, then he had to do something for glenn, and glenn, shockingly gave a crazy order, a simple one but I had never imagined that one of my student would give this kind of order,
Glenn: "Tickle ms.wida"
I stood up as william tried to tickle me, for any sake, I hated it being tickled even since I was born, haha. He touched my arm, then I lock his hands,
Me: "Well, I think enough for the game, now everyone please go back to your seat, and we're ready for the test"
I gave an evil grin for them as soon as they were asking for more.
"Ms. spin the marker once again pleaseeee, I still want to play"
Well, I couldn't help it looking at their hopeful face, but warmer time was finished. While they're doing their task, I laughed thinking about what I've just experienced, kids are genuinely cute and unpredictably funny.
