Fight

Family badminton game at sport centre.
Boys marching like soldiers during break.
With racket on their shoulders like rifle.

I : Soldier, which country you'd fight for?

YB : Germany!

I : Why?

YB : Because they're Serious.
Just look at their car : VW, BMW...

I : And you?

I : What did they do there?

EB : They did their homework together.
And finished some of them there!

I : Good use of time.

EB : Yes. So, I joined them.
And finished most of my homework.

I : So, more time to do other things at home?
Like watching TV? haha!

EB : No.
So I've more time to play with my young brother!
Did you know I persuaded the smart people to..
Have a name for the group.

I : Really?
What's the name for the group then?

EB : I reminded them NOT to pick a name...
That's kind of showing off.....
So, I suggested the name,
'People'.

I : 'The People's Group'?

EB : Yup.

I : Sound familiar.
Did you get the idea from a TV programme?
'The People's Supermarket'?

EB : Yes.
Recycling Good Idea!

List

While having a snack at home,
Younger Boy started a chat.

YB : Dad, I've found one person on my List.

I : List?

YB : Yup, my 'Grammar School Threatening List'

I : What do you mean?

YB : This boy's very smart, so he's on my List.
He may get into the Grammar School instead of me.

I : Is that why you call your List 'Threatening'?
Thinking someone may Threatening your chance?

YB : Yes.

I : Noone is to Threatening your chance, my boy.
Let me re-phrase it again.
The only person that would reduce your chance is....

YB : Is?

I : Yourself.
Because if you learn hard, plan hard & work hard,
You WILL get into the Grammar School.
Joining your elder brother.

YB : Mmmmm...

I : May be you should re-name your List?

YB : Really?

I : Yes, I think it may be better called as,
'Grammar School Friend List'.
So that you can put someone that's good....
On the List and be your Friend,
Learning together & to Grammar School together.

Peer

Picked up Elder Boy from school.
He started the chat.

EB : Something happened today.

I : What happened?

EB : A teacher showed us a Roman Helmet.

I : That's good.

EB : The class were asked to try it on.

I : Did you try then?

EB : No.

I : Did others?

EB : Yes, they did.

I : Were you the only one NOT trying?

EB : Yes.

I : Why Not?

EB : I think its' dirty. Everyone wore it.

I : Did you tell others why?

EB : No. I just said, 'I don't want to try.'

I : What happened then?

EB : Class started clapping & calling my name.

I : Encouraging you to do it?

EB : Yes.

I : But you still didn't?

EB : No. A few didn't want to do it first.

I : But they did wear the helmet in the end?

EB : Yes, due to 'Peer Group' pressure.
The class eventually started to boo me.

I : But you still didn't do it?

EB : That's right.

I : Why not?

EB : Why should I?
I'm not doing something because others want me to.

Persuasion

Elder Boy was eager to share with me,

About his new science project work.

Surprised to see 2 Internet Games included.

I : Interesting work.
Who decided to include the internet games?

EB : The Whole Team.

I : You'd told me the presentation time..
Is about 10 minutes.

EB : That's right.

I : But just these 2 games occupying 8 mins.

EB : Hmmm.....

I : There's not much time left to present..
Your Team's OWN ideas? Is there?

EB : No, I suppose.

I : And what if other teams also using them?

EB : Hmmm....

I : What do you think?
Do you think it's about Testing your...

Internet Searching skill?
Or about Presenting your OWN ideas?

EB : You're right, Dad.
We should design our own ways....
To present our Own ideas.
But.....

I : But?

EB : But, it's just that Everyone's agreed to
Use the 2 games found from the net.

I : May be they'll listen to you?
You won't know until you try, right?
Remember,
It's always better to use OWN ideas.

EB : Yes. I'll give it a go tomorrow.
