So, the parents were with the boy at the bookstore to get his stuff... A peep... he has several colourful pens/pencils, a clear holder... then it came (when he tried to justify the rest of the items):
- The geometrical construction set: The mum reminded him, "Didn't you buy one set last year?"... The boy started his string of reasons (i) the semicircle thing (which is the protractor) is not clear anymore (ii) the one to draw circle has not more lead (iii) The triangles are not right... When mum asked, why did not buy in the school the other day? He gave most ridiculous reason - the one that the school sells does not give accurate measurement. Oh my! What if the school's also selling the same product from the same supplier? Oops!!!
- A staple that's fashionably designed - a cool black and silver colour... The boy said, the cheap 2 dollar staple is no good, this one is better {what 'good' reason he gave! The more expensive the better?}
- A notebook (that I think cost more than $4) that the boy said is meant to write reflections while other exercise books for notetaking.
