Tuyan: [[Snowman Tidbits]]
Okay, so today we(Me, shihui, beryl) went to conduct our 2nd day of the craft camp... and we did the
SNOWMAN!!!!
.
.
.
Alright, so this was supposed to be the shittest idea but the kids turned out to love it.
And something vry funny happened which i thoguht to share with you guys. (Actually beryl's suggestion)
Ok, prenote: The snowman is made by cutting out a rectangle(roll into a tube) and a square(base of snowman), then sticking cotton wool on the tube to make it look fluffy and fat. Pictures of sample snowmen will be posted soon, but for now, just try to imagine it.
Ok, in my little group, there's this little boy who seriously sucked at craft. Lets call him
Boy. (I know its not creative.)
Ok, here goes:
Me: Measure a rectangle which is 16.5 by 9cm on the piece of paper and draw it out.*Proceed to show and help some of them*
One kid: Why?
Me: Later need to cut out one.
Boy: *Anyhow draw a lopsided square and rectangle without measuring, but using his ruler. But it somehow isn't straught anyway*
Me: Hey, you must measure properly and draw, or else later not nice.
Boy: Nevermind.
Me: Need my help? I help you draw?
Boy: Don't need. I can do myself.
*Later he proceeds to cut out two pieces of wierd shaped papers which does not have straight edges.*
Boy: Ok, do liao. Then how?
Me: Erm... *eyes his papers*, just fold it over, like this, and tape. *Shows everyone how to do it*
Boy: *Anyhow fold it over and tape do that it doesn't even look like a roll, and can't falls over when u put it on the table*
*At this point of time i went away to take smth, glue, i think*
*When i came back, my square was gone*
Me: Aye, where's my square?
Boy: *Holds a perfectly shaped square that looks suspiciously like mine*
One kid: He took it.*points*
Boy: Never. This one is mine.
Me: Huh? Then mine leh?
Boy: *points to one half-crumpled, oddly shaped, misshapen piece of paper* There. Yours.
Me:....
*I cut another square*
[After a while]
Boy: *Crumples his tube* Jiejie, i got no roll.
Me: Huh???? *Looks hard at the crumpled tube* Isn't that yours? Why you crumple?
Boy: No. That one not mine.
Me:...
Boy: *points to my tube* Give me.
Me: Why??????
Boy: That one is mine.
Me: ???????????????????????
Me: Never mind, i get you a new one. *Gets him cardboard tube that is perfectly round and un-crumple-able*
*We then proceeded to stick on the cotton wool on the rolls*
** Somehow the boy's snowman's fluff looked sparse, tangled and matted with white glue**
[After everyone's nearly finished(including me)]
Boy: *tore off all the cotton from his snowman tube (I simply can't call it a snowman the way it looked)
Me: *Shocked* Why you tear everything off???
Boy: My snowman don't have snow. Hah hah hah hah hah....
Me:But..... but......
~End of session~
[Later]
Boy: Jiejie. Give me that one can? *Points to the snowman i made*
Me: Nope. you have your own one.
Boy: But I want.Me: Too bad, its mine. I want it too.*starting to b a little pissed off liao*
Boy: Give me lar, I return you tomorrow.
me: *Stares at him disbelivingly* Erm... dont want.
Boy: I WANT!!!!! *tries to snatch**I held it high above my head, (thank god i'm tall) and he couldn't reach it*
Boy: I want I want!!!! *Whines... accidentally tears a Pri1 Christmas tree in his attempt to get it.*
~~~
In the end when we left, i went out first to hide, then he reached for shihui's pastic bag when he saw shihui's snowman hat poking out and con't whining:
"I want I want...."(To which shihui obviously said no.
Actually she said: "This is the materials bag, you can't have it." Hahaha...)
Okay, so thats the whole story.
Woah what a long post.
How'd you'all think? Funny? Irritating? I think its a bit of both...
