So the other morning, this mummy just realized kid no.4 was having his first Chinese spelling test later at school!
With no time to learn, I figured getting one out of four correct would be good enough; better than a big fat zero! :)
So one of the words was "kou", meaning mouth. "Kou" is the simplest to write, as it is basically just a square.
So in the car on the way to school;
Mummy: When teacher say "kou" you just draw a square okay??
Solomon: Okay.
Mummy: Remember, "kou" is a square okay?
Solomon: Okay.
Mummy: If you don't know the rest, just leave it blank.
Solomon: Okay.
Then, after school;
Mummy: So how was the spelling test?
Solomon: Okay.
Mummy: Did you draw a square for "kou"?
Solomon: I don't know where is the square.
!!!
I think I should've just told him to draw four squares! Guaranteed one correct at least! Lol!
