Message from the teacher.

When I think that things are going on smoothly for myself and the kids, and for didi, so far, this evening I had a shock. I opened up didi's message book and in it, his teacher wrote that one of the classmate's parents want to talk to me. And she asks me for permission to let them have my number. Am I worried, you think?

I interrogate didi what he does with that boy and just like usual, he didn't reveal much except that I get the hints both of them are not exactly the kind of good buddies where the kid's mom wants to befriend me for that whatsoever reason. *big sigh*

I don't know what it is that they want from me but I do not want to sound defensive and nonchalant about it either. So I wrote back to the teacher to ask if she could find out what they want first and let me on a bit before revealing my contact to them. I guess this sort of thing would give me some head-on first, instead of a heart attack or ambush that comes suddenly without any sort of warning at all?

Here I am, imagining some unreasonable, ah-long style parents calling me to ask for settlement to "issues". I don't want this kind of confrontations. But yet again, I am dead curious what the issues are and what they want to talk to me about. Should I just tell the teacher to "bring it on"? Sigh... I hope I can sleep well tonight.

Ask the teacher to ask the parents to write you an email lah so just give your email address to the parents lah! Speaking of which I also want your number to talk to you, boleh?
