6yo Javier loves KFC chicken popcorns meal! Usually, he will be late for art class and I allowed him to have his late lunch during the lesson. This time, he arrived earlier before his lesson starts. His grandpa deposited him in the classroom and rushed off somewhere. This little boy asked me politely if he can eat his fav meal in the classroom, I allowed him. I told him to behave and not to disturb my class and he agreed. He was eating his meal peacefully. 

When my earlier class ended, it was his lesson time. All his classmates came in and set up their table. There, I started to have a conversation with Javier.

"Javier, next time ask your Papa and Mama to bring you for lunch before coming to the art class, ok!"

"Teacher Esther, I don't have Papa!" He exclaimed.

I was stunned...

"What happened to your Papa??" I asked.

"I don't know, but I know I only have one Grandpa!" He replied and was munching away.

The class went quiet...

"Have you seen him before, do you have a photograph of him???" I asked for more details.

"No Teacher Esther, I don't know how he looks like...." This time Javier looked lost and a bit of teary...

I changed my subject quickily, and said, "Javier, I know you are Mummy's good boy!"

I went forward and gave him a good pat on his head and made a mess of his hair!!! And he went, "Hey!!!" He smiled again.

This cheery little Javier has a good heart. Grow up beautifully with good people around you!

My thought is, it is not easy for his Mother who is a single parent, working so hard to raise up her two children. Javier's Mummy - "JIA YOU!!!!"

My cheery little people!
