That funny boy

I tagged along with a team of three 13-year-old boys on Saturday for an Amazing Race event. My feet nearly died, because I walked and ran with them for six whole hours . And I ended up having to go home in my extra pair of flip flops in the office, cos I had blisters from not wearing proper running shoes.

Thank goodness the three boys in the team were sweet. Especially S, with his classic comments. S is this cute boy with a flat top. He reminds of a carrot - wide bulky body with skinny legs. He claims to know everything and to have done everything, so much so that I found it hard to believe him. In the end, it turned out that he was indeed a walking bus directory. And, we should have listened to him more, instead of asking him to walk faster.

Oh, and he claims to be Ugly Betty. Hahahaha.

Let me narrate a really hilarious incident. It was his turn to climb the rock wall, and being a carrot, he had much difficulty scaling the wall. His butt was jutting out, and his feet just couldn't find a foothold. Halfway through, his four limbs went limp and he started pleading very loudly "Can I pls come down? Can I pls come down?"

Wanting to know what was happening, the instructors called out to him, giving him instructions on how to continue the climb. All this time, his limbs just wouldn't listen. Finally, he looked down at me and shouted: "My leg got blood! My leg got blood!" Ok... so he was let down. But because he didn't know how to get into the rapelling position, he simply let himself get scraped against the wall, like chalk drawing a crooked line down the blackboard. OUCH.

Guess what? When S touched the ground and was asked to show his supposedly bloody legs, there was NO BLOOD!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA. Damn funny! He's so damn cute :)
