My Crazy BB

Have you ever come across a child who will cry and scream when it's time for her to finish school? Well, Clarissa is one...

Today, daddy was complaining to me that when he picked her from school, she refused to follow him. For some reason, she is very fond of her new teacher, and decided to stay back in class just for that teacher. When daddy tried to convince her that she can still see and play with her new teacher tomorrow, she decided to practise her "invisible leg" on him, leaving daddy very angry and frustrated, but yet, wouldn't dare to punish her in front of her teachers :) So, daddy did what he thought best - complained to mommy!

When I came home, I questioned her on why she behaved that way, and what was so great about this new teacher (whom she told me she loves best - by the way, the teacher just joined yesterday).

She explained to me that she wanted to stay back because she will miss her new teacher when she comes home (she doesn't even remember her new teacher's name). I told her that she could see her again tomorrow, but she said - "But mommy, this teacher is only here for a few days because after that she will have to leave to continue her study" - and that's when I understand her concern.

All she had wanted was to spend more time with her new favorite teacher before she leaves, but because daddy didn't get this point, she threw her tantrum and showed him a little bit of her kung fu :) She also told me the reason why she likes this teacher so much is because she will answer all her questions (according to her class teacher, she asked "too many" questions sometimes), and told off a boy who disturbed her when she complained to her. In other words, what she was trying to make me understand is, this new teacher gave her 100% attention and that was why she immediately became her favorite teacher.... isn't she easy to bribe?!?
