temper temper

reached home today, as we were getting out of the car, heard najwan SCREAMING.

turned out he put 3 marbles in a cup, then he filled in the cup with tap water, and the marbles dropped to the bathroom floor, and boy went flaming mad.

we turned one session into a vocabulary session for the older kids. as najwan was screaming away, I turned to the rest and said, 'this is what we call a tantrum.'

whenever I use the word 'tantrum' in class, the ECE students would give me blank stares, so might as well.

after all, boy switches on and off easily, so not quite a bona fide tantrum, it just sounded like one.
