Sad Side
There is a rule binding the school I teach. We don't allow students to cut any kind of hairstyle. These two boys are new to the school but have been given the code of conduct handbook by the school principal. These two are siblings who saw our school as not fit for them but had no choice since our school is the best in that area.
A week after their resumption, these two carried gangster hairstyles which got me triggered. I was so angered seeing them with the kind of hairstyles they made. I called them and told them to amend their haircut or else they should stay at home. They accepted.
They were in the class the following day when I dashed to their class to check on a student. I had forgotten that I saw them with unwanted hairstyles but unfortunately for them, they began to use books to cover their hair. I observed these two but was not in line with their useless attitude. As I was about to leave the class, the students began to laugh.
"Ah!! Ah!! Why are you people laughing?" Have I done something wrong or have you done something unusual? I asked.
They were still laughing an annoying laugh but were just observing. After some minutes, I never knew they were trying to pass a message to me indirectly. After a while, I discovered these two covering their faces. Something went straight down on me and I immediately remembered what they did yesterday.
Immediately I called them, the students increased their laugh showing a sign of responding to what they had been laughing at.
What the fuck!!!! So, you people are yet to amend your unwanted hairstyles? I said and asked.
Their response almost got me angered but being a teacher, anger shouldn't be the first thing first. I decided to call their parents.
What Else Can I Say?
Now, I prepared some food which happened to be my last food at home. My wife had traveled leaving my 5-year-old boy and me behind. I had a friend whose aim is just to eat but not to contribute. He always knows when food is ready. Maybe he has the sense of smelling already made foods, who knows?
After preparing the food, I told my boy to inform anyone who asked of me that I had gone out and would be coming back by 4 pm, whereas I was inside preparing the food silently. My boy was not sharp enough. My friend came around and asked my son where I was but bluntly told him "My dad said I should tell you that he is not at home". Common human beings should know that this statement is not true.
My friend asked my boy "Do you mean your dad is at home?"
My boy said, "He is not at home but told me to tell you that he is not at home".
Ok, go back and check if he is at home, my friend said.
My boy came to me and I told him "Tell him I am not at home and would be back by 4 pm". He nodded.
He went back and told my friend "My dad said he will be back by 4 pm".
My friend asked my boy "Do you mean he told you he would be back by 4 pm?"
My boy answered, "Yes sir".
Where is he now? My friend asked.
He is inside, my boy said.
I was just fuming right inside of me. After some minutes, he entered and perceived the sweet aroma of what I was cooking. He saw me but what would I say….
How would you feel if you were in my shoes?
