The Untold Story : Clear Instruction for little Prankster

There are various personalities on the students, depends on the background and the environment, and every personality always bring a story. It might be the sad, happy, or funny story, and sometimes they need the right time, the right person, and the right chance to show us their true self. But above it all, whoever they are, whatever they do, they never failed to make me in love with them. 

In 6th grade, there are four little active and clever boys. Sometimes they are quite hard to handle, yet it’s kind of hard for me as well to get angry at them. Hardly believe their cute actions always mesmerize me in good ways. 

And this story bellow can be an example why i never can get enough of teaching them :D.

 

One busy day, we got  an outdoor activity for science. And yes, whenever it comes to outdoor, the kids will be more active than usual.  In the middle of our lesson, i asked one of the boys to take my belongings on the table, the scissor and the coloring. But because i was in a rush, instead of mentioning each of them by name, i told him like this “could you please take the scissor and that thing?” while pointing at the coloring. At that time there were a lot of things on it. Fool me, i didn’t reckoning the probability of him to take another thing.

Awhile later he gave me these...

‘itu’ means ‘that’, he wrote it on this small paper (could you imagine him having a time to cut the paper and write ‘itu’ on it? true little prankster. Lol) . I was bursting into laugh, i couldn’t believe he came up with such idea. It was beyond my imagination, instead of taking the random thing on the table that can be ‘that’, he chose to make it by himself.

He actually knew where was i pointing at, but my unclear instruction became a chance for him to make a joke. 

“you said to take that, and for me this is ‘that’” he answered.

He made me realize to always make a clear instruction in every situation, no matter what. For this case, it’s so funny. But it won’t be funny anymore when the kids get confuse just because of the teacher’s instruction. Beware teachers!

And thanks Danta, through your cute yet clever prank, you let me learn again about this basic thing :D.
