Erm...moments.

"Teacher, Teacher! I'm so happy today! I got 80 over 100 for my test! So happy!", said the Korean girl I'm tutoring with the biggest grin on her face.
Her happiness was infectious and for a moment there, I forgot about all the stress and frustration I've been feeling.
At least something was going right.

Later on, she took my iPod and listened to the song playing on shuffle. It was Avril Lavigne's "Hot".
In the middle of the song she asked me, "Teacher, who/what is baby?".
It was from the line, "You're so good to me, baby,baby."
"Erm..."

Yet another "Erm..." moment when she asked me what the writing on my shirt meant. It said "Good Girls Are Bad Girls That Never Get Caught". Ha ha ha ha. I told her that I'll tell her when she becomes a teenager. 4 more years. She kept irritating me to tell her.

I want to be a kid again. Such innocence and very low threshold to happiness.
Why can't life be simple?
