they can't wait to grow up.
then their class teacher told them, "well, you don't have to rush through the process. just relax and enjoy while you still can. these are the best years that you're having - while you're still in primary school."
"how do you know?" a girl asked.
"just cos."
"but how do you know, why do you know that we're having our best years?"
it was such a funny moment but i felt like crying at the same time.
"becos you're carefree, you don't need to worry about anything while you're still a kid."
i know that i had a rather wonderful childhood - i mean look at me, i'm living in the middle of nowhere and doing n'importe quoi, if i did any work at all during my primary years, i'd be working my a** off right now sitting in my cubic on a friday night and earning big bucks.
that's why i didn't want to be harsh on my kids.
life is definitely gonna get hard when they grow up.
the last thing i want them to remember about learning english back in CP is having a bitchy foreigner forcing them to memorise all sorts of useless and difficult stuff.
let kids be kids while they are still simple and naive.
