Good Listeners
January 2nd, 2007In December 2006, Sebastian was in a singing program that included the Kindergarteners and first graders. Before the presentation, the students sat on the gym floor waiting for their program to begin. In the meantime, the principal started the usual boring mumbo-jumbo about the program and people who helped out and yadda yadda yadda.
As boring as the speech was, I caught an interesting syncing of her words with the video my wife had captured.
What you hear is the principal saying:
. . . they know how important it is to be a good audience and good listeners.
but what you see is Sebastian and his friend paying absolutely no attention to the principal or what she is talking about.
Now that's my boy.
OK, sure — the principal is talking about the first graders being good listeners because they had just had their own presentation a day before. I guess this is something they don't teach in Kindergarten.
