It belongs to ME!

21yo Looi Siao Siang finally received the WWF recycle bag from me on the Thursday evening art class! He grabbed the bag in no time, I snatched it back from him as he was still holding on the bag (with strength). I was looking at him and expecting him to say the magic words, until he said, "Say Thank You!", eventually the bag was back to him.

My students were so curious about the bag, they asked, "Teacher Esther, what is WWF?" I told them to ask Siao Siang, and he said, "World Wildlife Fund!"

11yo Ashely reqested to take a look at the bag, Siao Siang allowed her. "Oh, the bag is made of bamboo! What if this bag was given to the panda, will they eat it??" Good question Ashely! But, I was not interested to answer her question, either Siao Siang!
I was more interested to "make fun" of Siao Siang, I hinted to Ashely not to return the bag to him! 13yo Michelle agreed with my mischief idea, we told Ashely to tell Siao Siang to give her this bag! Ashely thought it was a bad idea, kept blaming on us! Then Siao Siang exclaimed, "It belongs to ME!"

Michelle and I were laughing away! And poor Ashely kept blaming on us and still don't understand our purpose ~ We were making Siao Siang to interact with us! And he did!

I supposed giving him this bag wasn't an bad idea at all, he learns to talk to his classmates even more! Yes, my students indeed treated Siao Siang as their friends! and I am glad they are his art classmates and most importantly ~ FRIENDS!
