scardy cat plays pretend
It's one of the many embarrassing moments I have to go through at work almost every other day but today was especially embarrassing (well, almost) that've I've decided to blog about it.
Being in a centre which is surrounded by green (there's a thick forest/jungle just behind the centre),my children and i get frequent visits from unexpected, funny and scary looking creatures. Just the other day, I spotted this insect which looks like an exact replica of a bee, only that it's blue and shiny. There was another time when the kids started screaming on top of their lungs while they were washing their hands in the bathroom. I decided to investigate to see what the commotion was all about.
Lo and behold! A big, fat wriggly centipede greeted me just outside the bathroom door. It was doing this some kind of funny dance on the floor which somehow reminded me of beyonce shaking her booty in one of her many music videos. You know, the one with the pink panther? Anyway, never in my life have I seen a well fed centipede before.
So, back to today's incident. This time round, a gigantic buzzing bee decided to pay a visit to my class. As usual, the kids were screaming in hysteria when the stupid bee started flying towards them. I got a little frustrated as the class was out of control and that was when I decided to use my usual tactic haram to keep them quiet. I told them,"The more you scream, the nearer the bee will get to you as bees are attracted to noises."
Hahaha... Don't ask me where in the name of fish did I pick/learn/read that from.
I think I'm the terrible teacher who teach your kids the wrong things so be definite sure not to send them to my centre especially if they're ages between three to four. Heh.
Unfortunately, after having said that (my tactic haram), the bee decided to test me out by making a detour and started buzzing towards my direction. Knowing how much flying insects irks me, I got a little scared, started to dodge away from the stupid insect and took quick steps backwards. On seeing how I reacted towards the bee, one of the kids exclaimed,
" Teacher Yus, you also scared ah?" Trying to hide myself from furthur embarrassment, I then replied, "No la. The bee's flying towards my eye. I don't want to go blind." Hahaha..
Seconds later, thankfully, the stupid bee decided to end its life by visiting the fan blades this time (see, I have my reasons for calling the bee, stupid). The bee then got thrown onto the floor and the kids started screaming again. Knowing that the bee was obviously dead, I started taking some newspaper, gave the dead bee a good, hard smack making my acting all convincing by pretending as if the bee was still alive. I then disposed it into the bin, turned towards the kids and exclaimed, "There, the bee's dead now. Don't need to be afraid anymore." And with that, the kids yay-ed and cheered while some even thanked me for helping to kill the stupid bee!
hahahaha....
