In the Class

My preschooler said to me, “HEY TEACHER! What’s a ghost?”

“It’s a… well. Um… lets see.”

I was trying to create a question for them in their workbook while considering whether it was a good idea to tell the children about spirits, death, heaven, the afterlife, and lost souls haunting the earth. I mean, if this isn’t the height of progressive teaching for kids, then I don’t know what is. However, he interrupted my deep contemplation.

“Are they just funny little monsters with blankets over their heads?”

Yeap. That’s exactly what they are, mate.”

Very funny Fong! Pretty good idea, but nowadays I don't think it's easy to look for "Casper The Friendly Ghost".

That's our generation's cartoon not theirs! They probably don't even know.. *lol*
