Yesterday, I had a rather fun time weighing my kids and measuring their heights. I saw that all of them have grown taller, fatter and well, wonder why but I was quite happy knowing that. :)
On Monday, all my kids were supposed to post their 'apples' onto the 'apple tree' in class. The tree was previously an encouragement board. Where my kids would post to thank anyone in class, school or their family. Have decided to change it this term as a "public journal" for them.
Topics given were:
1. How do you feel today?
2. How was the weekend?
3. What are you doing this weekend?
They could write on anyone of them. All except one wrote something that shocked me, threw me off balance and simply blew my mind. That kid wanna kill me. He wanted me dead. I brought down the post and had a talk with him after class. Asked if he seriously wanted me dead, he replied positively. I asked again if he hated me. He agreed. I asked if he could think of an incident that made him felt the way he did, he was silent.
My conscience is clear of course, of how I have always treated him with love. I do discipline him and for that I am not at all ashamed. However, that's where the hurt comes in. Cos I invested in him.
I left him with the weekend to think things through and would talk to him again. I don't think this is a normal response and I worry at the thought of that. What has happened to him?
