"Reward" for helping teacher

Posted by TXT

The below post may not be of an “appealing sight” for your appetite. So mummy said for you to skip it if you were of a faint hearted wor. Mummy said she got a shock of her lifetime when she picked me up from school last Thu to be “welcomed” by this….

You see, during my science period (the last 2 before school ends), my science teacher had requested for me to help open a window in the science lab. Being a helpful and obedient student (ahem…), I went and open it without realizing it was faulty. So the glass just broke and fell and cut my finger. The cut was quite deep and long and I had wanted to cry initially. But I reminded myself that I’m already 8 years old so I shouldn’t behave like a cry-baby anymore. (Mummy was so proud of me!) The science teacher sent my monitor to accompany me to the teacher’s office to get the wound attended by the afternoon head while she continued on her lessons.

After we got home and bathed, mummy changed the bandage (which she said they looked like some big rotten sausage!) into cute Disney plaster and that’s when the “miracle” happened as I was “healed” instantly and could even complete my homework (eventhogh my teacher told me that I do not have to) and played ball with Baby Jo. Mummy was very proud and pleased with how I had behaved and handled this incident. But she was not quite happy on how I had replied to my sweet friend, B whom was so kind to offer in helping me with my bag. I had told her it’s OK as I still have another hand that is not injured. Mummy claimed that I was pretty rude with my reply but I was just telling the truth ma… {mummy slapping her head!}

Note from mummy : We were very proud of how she’d handled it (for not crying) but was rather put-off after we learnt that the afternoon head/teachers were aware of the faulty window but yet did nothing about it until our poor girl became the “victim”. The least they could do (if they could not find someone to fix it in time) is at least to put a note or something to warn the kids not to touch it! And I checked with Zo again on Fri after school that they still had not got the problem fixed despite some innocent child was already hurt! Dang!
