The boy had told me last Wednesday that he need not go to school on Friday. I didn’t remember receiving any notice from the school and thought he was just lying so that he can skip classes.
Come Friday, I brought him to school, only to be told that there were indeed no classes because the K1s were going for a school excursion.
As we were heading back to the car, the boy said this:
“SEE I TOLD YOU. NO SCHOOL! I TOLD YOU NO SCHOOL RIGHT? I’M CORRECT!”
Something about his tone and gestures made me realised at that point that my boy has grown up and despite being five, he now has a mind of his own.
Great. He’s gonna be doing more telling me next time!
