While I was “meditating” in one cubicle, I overheard a young boy and his mum conversing;
The boy said “Mum I want to comment (I assumed he’s referring to the automatic feedback machine in the toilet)..Its very clean. I'll comment EXCELLENT!”
The mum replied, “Are u sure its excellent? Look at the floor, it’s all wet. Look at the paper towel (not sure what could possibly go wrong with the paper towel? Not perfectly white?).”
The boy quickly blurted out “ok ok. POOR lah POOR lah!”
Not sure if the boy really put POOR as his choice. O well.
I guess, children really see things differently from adults. Most of them are easy to please and they can see beyond imperfections. That’s why I prefer working with children!
