Fried brains for supper.

Our world is in such turmoil and what makes things worse is that my Primary 5 kid doesn't use past tense in his compositions, does NOT respect punctuations (or observe its use, even) and does NOT know/want to use upper casing after every FULLSTOP.

Sometimes I wonder if he's lousy, or I'm a bad teacher. And I can't help feeling bad cos I'm being paid for this. I don't want to be a nagging pain to him but his indifference is becoming my source of frustration. Are boys born being so unconcerned about... grammar? (No offense boys, though I did mean to refer to other aspects as well, ahem)

Sometimes I wish I didn't care so much. Rather, I wish I was less pedantic (sometimes).

I think only Japanese food can cure me now. Sashimi, anyone?
