Fall

After falling down from stairs at home,
And seeing my boys were shocked,
I got up from floor & chatted with boys.

I : Don't worry, boys, I'm OK.

EB : Do you need cold running water?

I : Why?

EB : Just in case you've bruises.

I : No. I'm fine.

EB : Do you need to do the check?

I : Check?

EB : Yes, to check from head to toes,
If any bone is broken.

I : Oh... yes.

EB : Is everything fine?

I : Oh, yes. Everything is fine.
No broken bones. No bruises.

EB : Why do you think you fell?

I : Not concentrated.
I was singing when walking down stairs.

EB : How to ensure it won't happen again?

I : No singing next time taking stairs.
Concentrated. Hold the stair rail.

Wait a minute,.
That's exactly what I'd said to Elder Boy,
Last time when he fell.

World

I often remind my boys that the School World,
Is the perfect training ground for them,
To develop/polish their Essential Life Skills.

So they should use every opportunity at school,
To put what they've in mind & learnt into practise,
Planning Skill, Time Management Skill, Social Skill etc..

E.g.  dealing with 'Naughty' schoolmates could help them,
To effectively deal with prospective 'Nasty' clients,
'Shouty' boss/colleagues when they step into the Real World.

I also remind my boys that in the Real World,
They'll not have 13-week holiday a year like the School World.
And they've to understand it'll be 'Work First before Play'.

Partner

Boys love watching the 'Apprentice',
So I started a chat with them during breakfast.

I : If each of you is to start a business tomorrow,
Which schoolmates you'd like to be your partners?

YB : Well, it has to be a Fair Business.
So, I'm to have the equal number of boy and girl.

I : O.K.

YB : I'm to pick 2.
A boy , X and 1 girl, Y.

I : Why?

YB : Because X is quite tall.
So he can put/take  stock up/down.

I : Well, good point. And Y?

YB : She is clever.

I : What about you?

EB : I'll pick 3.

I : Why?

EB : Because A is good at computer,
B is good at Art.  I need them to design.
C is good at Writing - for marketing then.

I : What about you?
What will you be doing?

EB : Well, as usual..........a bit of everything!

British

While having our breakfast at home,
I'd a 're-discussion' with Younger Boy.

I : Just remind me again please on....
What you think is British.

YB : That's simple.
A person is British if he can do two things.

I : Oh, really?   What're they?

YB : 1st, they've to know how to sing the..
British National Anthem.

I : Alright. And?

YB : 2nd, they've to know how to draw the
British National Flag.

I : OK. I get it. So, if I know....
How to sing the Brazilian National Anthem,
And how to draw the Brazilian National Flag,
Then, I'm a Brazilian?

YB : No, you're not.

I : Why not?

YB : Because you couldn't speak any Brazilian.

I : Just assuming I could, OK?

YB : No, you couldn't.

I : Just, just assuming.

YB : No, you couldn't.

Unemployment

After reading an article about youth unemployment,
I asked boys a few questions to stimulate them.

I : Do you know how many youngsters are now...
unemployed in Spain or Greece?

Boys : 20%? 30%?

I : No. More than that.

Boys : 35%? 40%?

I : Good guess. But it's about 50%.
Why do you think so many unemployed?

Boys : Not studying the right subjects at school?
Not having the right attitude?  Not....

I : Wait a minute.
Is Education just about finding a good job?

Boys : No.
But it's a very important part.

I : Do you know where some of the under 25 moved to?

Boys : China? England?.......

I : No. They've.........

I started a chat by pretending to be a cab driver.
