Big brother came home with a long peacock’s feather after a school outing
to the zoo.
Kris wanted to hold it, but her brother refused saying that she would damage it.
But she continued to try and snatch it from him.
In frustration, Big Brother said sarcastically “Who has not seen a feather before!!”
Kris, totally missing the sarcastic tone, immediately put up her hand and
looked at her brother with hopeful eyes.
“Can I have the feather now?”

“Mom, when did global warming first start?”
Not feeling particularly intellectual, I said “I don’t know.”
After some thought, she came to her own conclusion.
“It must have been during the first global flood.”
“And when was that?” I asked.
“When God asked Noah to build the ark!”

I was explaining to my daughter why there is a need for laws in a country.
“… Unfortunately, it does not stop some people from committing crimes.
But, we hope they would think twice before they do anything bad.”
After thinking for a few moments, she said, “I understand now. So those
people in jail have already thought at least TWO TIMES!!”

Olive class was having their storytelling session with Mrs Leong, the volunteer storyteller. The topic for the session was about the moon.
Mrs Leong did an introduction on the moon, the recent eclipse and about the first men who had walked on the moon.
Mrs Leong: Class do you know that many years ago, some men walked on the moon. They were Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and….”
Bai Hong: I know, I Know, It was Michael Jackson too….
Class: What!! (and laughter)
(I guess he was referring to the famous moonwalk dance of Michael Jackson.)

One of my students in my P2 English class was very fascinated about scientific facts. A topic which he used to discuss was about ladies being pregnant and how the babies were doing in their tummies. So one fine day, I played along with him and asked him, “Darren, why do only ladies give birth and not men?”. He gave me a profound reply, “Because that is the law of nature.” He could not have put it any better!
