Sports Day!
This year it was big, BIG, BIGGER than last year.
Bigger by a whole festival.
Last year there were some smash hand-made games, a few cultural-throw-back-traditional replicas and some human-tug-of-war (which was cute); not this year…. oh man this year they stepped it up!
Stepped it up so much that several days worth of my lesson were cancelled so that children could practice. Practice running. Practice routines. Practice games. Practice more running.
It seems very… senseless.
Sure, sure. It's for the children! It's supposed to be a good time full of friendly competition, laughter and games. But midterms are coming up. Like next week!! And you're cancelling classes so that kids can practice - running?! Isn't running a Darwinian trait? If you can't do it - you don't survive, i.e. SOL to you?!
No, no we're past those evolutionary needs, and are now at a stage were we must practice running so that the parents will be impressed and praise their children for the quickness of their tiny feet!
And so that is what Daepyung did.
They practiced routines, and games and running so that the parents would be impressed.
Impressed? Eeehhhh maybe.
Cute? Absolutely!
