My Son Got a Reasonable Zero...

Jas got a zero for not following instructions: It was a crayon-colored argument on why he was asked to color the clouds blue. Instead, he colored

the spaces and left the clouds blank, resembling cotton-white cumulus. Ms. Flor, Jas' teacher, asked Jas to follow the instruction since it's just a coloring activity. But Jas was hesitant and answered back "White ang clouds..Blue and sky! at Gray ang clouds pag-uulan lang! " then he cried hiding his face behind his hands.

It was a conflicting innocence and imagination.

But sooner or later he will learn to see how the world works. He will learn that clouds float even in blue.
