Brotherly Love

A 13 years old Sam, 11 years old Oscar and a 5 years old Dexter (oh yes, reminds me about the cartoon), they are brothers whom enjoy drawing and colorling very much. 5 years old Dexter is a kid full of curiosity, talkative, cute but naughty. He loves coloring oh yes, but he loves running around too, can't really concerntrate much when ask to sit and color an artwork. First, he will asked: "Teacher, look at this, my coloring very good hor?" Then, if I keep prasing him, he will do good at the beginning, and turn bad at the end of the class. It is because he thought that he is good enough and started to running around, distracting others in the class when I am teaching the others. I can't really stand him everytime, but a scolding is really not working on him. He will had this cute little smile when I try to scold him. My heart just melted when I look at that smile. He still do his own "routine" everytime he comes to the class. And, yesterday, he just got over the bridge and I just can't stand him, and pulled his ear. Poor thing, he got back to his seat, and started coloring with his "wetty" eyes/ I told him that he cannot go back 'til he finished his work today. At the end of the day, he managed to finish his work. But, a pull in the ear just now seems to be forgotten when the class is over.

He started to play in the office with the brothers when I am cleaning the class. (the mom came in late today, and the brothers stayed in the office while waiting for their mom to fetch them) One amazing thing really touched me. Dexter, automatically helped me to clean the class. When he saw me cleaning the table, he too, trying to use his hand, to collect the dust. Nevertheless, he put away my drinking bottle onto the other table, which had been cleaned. Then, when I try to sweep the floor, without hestitation, he quickly went and take the dustpin for me, pointing at the dust on the floor" Teacher, here got a lot of dust!" And, when the class is cleaned, he saw that the table in the office is dirty. (the surface is made from glass, therefore it is easy to collect stain as u can see) You know how Dexter wanna help to clean it? The little boy might watched too much cartoon that he use his own sliver to rub it with a tissue. I scolded him for being so dirty, and again, with his smile, quickly he threw away the tissue paper...

When all the cleaning is done, the boys started to play around. I can see that the 2 elder brothers love to bully him, but deeply, they have this brotherly love that really amazed me. Especially for a 13 and a 11 boys, normally, they don't care for the little one. But, they are different. By the time when their mom called, (the eldest brother own a hp) the 2 elder brothers quickly rush down, the intention is to "kacau" and "left behind" the little one. Dexter the 5 years old just cry out so loud because he do not know how to get down the stair. The 2 elder brothers quicly ran back, one helping to take the bag, and the eldest one carry him downstair, trying to comfort him.... That particular scene really touched me so much, and make me realized how important the love among sibling...
