Unexpected Joy!

I cannot resist a smile recalling the amusement I had with the kids just a day ago. I decided to play a role in my gal studies since she did poorly in her final term exam. On that day, I was at the table with her doing Maths, Science and English. It supposed to be a stressful session with her until my dear boy turned it around and ended up a blissful session.

Well, it was when my gal was tackling the science question on how to separate sand and salt. She knew the answer but was not able to give a proper written explanation since it was a subjective question. So I got her to memorise the sample answer. It was still tension until my boy came along to the table and leisurely I asked him to give his answer since he is a science genius. True enough, he knew the answer but due to his playful nature, he gave me his answer playfully. And due to my serious nature, I demanded for a proper answer. So, told him to write it down and read it out. He wrote it down but not able to read it out properly because he was still engaged in a playful mood with his sister being his fan, giggling at his endeavours. It was uncontrollable until he really couldn't read it out properly without bursting into laughter. Until I gave him an ultimatum that if he couldn't read it out in 3 attempts, his hp will be confiscated for the day. He tried but to no avail coz it was too late, everyone at the table was out of control including me. I too was carried away with him and couldn't resist laughing at him.  It was his last attempt and it was so intense yet so funny. We tried not to look at him to help him out but he just couldn't carry on. The whole scenario was joyful because of him. It took a while until he finally regained control. And of course, he made it.

Gosh! What a day. He made me shed tears so unexpectedly. It's tears of joy!
