first day back at class

Me: Good morning class

Class: Good morning Madame!

Me: How was the break?

Shefui: It was fine Madame!

Me: And how are your moringa plants?

Silence

Shamsu: Madame, mine has not grown.

Washwu: Mine has also not grown.

Matin: Sir, mine has also…

Me: It’s Madame, not sir.

Martin: mmhm, Madame, my moringa had not grown either.

Hawa: Mine has grown. But a goat chopped it.

Zuleha: Mine has grown, and I put it in the sun. It has died.

Me: Has anyone been able to grow their moringa?

Silence

Fataw: Madam, were we supposed to chop (eat) our seeds?

Me: What?!? No! Who ate their seed?

Fataw: Noah, Madam.

Me: Noah! Did you eat your seed?

Noah: No…

Abukari: But the seeds are sweet! Aghahahahahaha.

Washwu: Aghahahhahaha

Shefwu : Aghahahahahaha

Me: Noah, you are to plant your seed, and when it grows it will produce many moringa seeds. And then you can chop all the moringa seeds you want. ::deep breath:: Ok class I am giving you all new moringa seeds. They are new, fresh seeds, so plant them today. Ok?

Class: Yes Madame!
