The girls were making Teachers’ Day cards for their teachers.<\/p>\n

Zara wrote on her card “Happy Teacher’s Day\u201c<\/span> instead of “Happy Teachers’ Day”<\/span> that I wrote for her.
\nZaria wrote on her card, “Dear, Teacher, Belinda”<\/span> instead of “Dear Teacher Belinda,”<\/span>
\nZara wanted to write “And”<\/span> but instead wrote “Ad”<\/span><\/p>\n

I got irritated. So I lectured them.
\n“Yada yada, so many mistakes on your cards… AND also you can spell wrongly… Don’t even know how to use punctuation… Can’t even plan your writing properly. Yada yada.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Both girls corrected their mistakes by putting stickers over mistakes, drawing over wrong punctuation etc etc, while I was yakking away.<\/p>\n

When Zara was done, she looked at me and told me calmly, “We are children. You are an adult. When children do things.. there’ll be some imperfection, it cannot be as perfect as an adult.”<\/span><\/p>\n

o.O”<\/p>\n

Then added, “Do you think if I did it so perfectly, teacher Casandra will think it’s my work or your work?”<\/span><\/p>\n

o.O”<\/p>\n

Ok. She’s putting things into perspective. <\/p>\n
