The Poor Thing

One of my favorite boys broke a chair today >_< The classes are at a kindergarten so all the chairs are the little tiny toddler sized ones. This boy is a bit on the hefty side. All he did was sit in the chair for about five minutes and it broke on him. It wasn't even like he was rocking it back and forth or anything. He was so embarrassed. After that we played a board game where the students had to answer English questions. All the answers he'd give were along the lines of "I wish I could lose weight", "I'd go on a diet". He's normally such a vibrant, enthusiastic little guy. I just wanted to hug him and tell him it was the flimsy little chair's fault but I think that would have been worse for him. I hope he bounces back and this doesn't traumatize him.
