I was typing a mail for this Saturday's Flag Day when I realized that I had mistyped it as Fag Day instead in one of the sentence.

Which made me remember the countless times I typed the word "Sex" when I actually wanted "Hey" in my sms. (because keypad 4 for "h" is right above 7 for "s", and I use the dictionary function when I type my sms)

Imagine seeing an sms that goes like this:

Sex where you? I reach already

So kids, remember to check through your message before sending them out!

Anyway, today I saw the most emo 9-year-old that I have ever seen in my life.

This little boy (who cannot be named as he is a minor) was fighting with a classmate. Obviously I had to stop the fight. I kinda reprimanded them for fighting, and then the little rascal (oops) just stomped out of the classroom and sat down at the space between the locker and the door and cried.

Yeah I know this aint emo enough. But read on.

After awhile, he got over it and went back to class. Then after awhile, he cried again.

Reason being: someone called him a crybaby (oh the irony)

Then he stomped out of the classroom again, and sat down at his nice little corner and started weeping like the pokemon master he was. Of course I had to do something, so I went over and talked to him, and the conversation went something like this:

Me: Can you tell me what happened?
LR: sobs
Me: If you don't tell me I cannot do anything
LR: sobs
Me: Do you want to go back to class?

Then it came, the one sentence that (sort of) made my day

LR (still crying): I WANNA GO STAND IN THE RAIN. STAND IN THE RAIN AND FALL SICK SO I DON'T HAVE TO COME TO SCHOOL TOMORROW

I bit my lips, not because I was touched or anything, but anything less painful would have made me laugh my ass off. (You really have to be there to understand the funniness of this kinda sentence coming outta a 9-year-old's mouth)

But of course you never laugh at an emo kid in front of him, so I regained my composure, and just waited there with him so that he does not really go in the rain and fall sick and make his parents complain and make me lose my $65/day job.

But seriously, kids nowadays are really damn hard to handle. Made me wonder what kinda parent I would be in the future, and whether my kid would become like the LR I saw today.

I hope not.

Yeah I know it's still kinda early to think about this, but sex, we're all gonna be parents one day.
