My students go for drama class every Monday and Wednesday. The drama teachers are currently working on strengthening their (the kids') lungs. Today there was a flurry of excitement because they all got brightly coloured balloons to blow. Some of them were able to huff and puff and pump a lot of air in while the others tried relentlessly. One little boy after trying for a few minutes was on the brink of tears because his balloon just wouldn't swell up.
Me: Sweetheart, just try a little harder. I'm sure you'll be able to do it.
Little Boy: It's not happening! I'm going to take it home and try.
Me: That's probably a good idea. You must be tired right now.
Little Boy: No, Teacher. I have a vacuum cleaner at home. It will fill the balloon up!
Ah! The joy in working with kids! :)
