Difference between children and adults

When I told my hubby that I won't be dancing together with my fellow CL colleagues and will be joining the P3 teachers on stage instead, his immediate reaction was that, that was a poor PR move. He advised me to join the CL team too, or else others would think that I have no team spirit.

When the pupils did not see me dancing away with the rest of the CL teachers, one or two asked me why. My answer was : my main purpose was to "entertain" them. Once would do. Since I am a P3 form teacher, its only logical that I join the P3 teachers. They smiled and seemed satisfied with my answer.

I had the same answer for both of them, yet their reactions were so much different. Adults tend to think too much, care too much what others think of them at times. Children are more innocent, less complicated.

When handling such situations, I prefer the children's way of thinking.
