In Chemistry class today...

Me: Lazy to copy the notes la.. textbook also got one.. want to copy or not ah?
CY: Copy lo.. since nothing else to do..
Me: OK.. (turn to ST) it's the same as in textbook..
ST: Same one? Then I don't want to copy la..
Me: Copy la.. if you don't copy you'll sure fell asleep one..
ST: (thinking) Why do humans fell asleep?
Me: Coz humans know how to feel tired.
ST: Why do humans know how to feel tired?
Me: =.= Coz.. we use energy everyday!
ST: Use energy..? Hmm.. Then why do humans eat?
Me: Coz humans get hungry.
ST: Why when humans get hungry, they know how to eat to gain energy? Like in the stone-age time, why do those people know how to search for food? Why do they drink water?
Me: (irritated) haiyo.. Humans eat coz hungry la! Humans know how to think! Why do you ask so many questions?!
ST: Why do we know how to think?
Me: Coz we have brains.
ST: Then what about animals?
Me: OK then it's because we are the higher-level ones..
ST: What do you mean higher-level? What about ants? When you block their path, they know how to crawl on the other side. Means they know how to think la?
Me: Ya ho.. like bees.. when they have found honey (flowers) they would fly in a 'S' or '8' path to show other bees the exact location of the flowers..
ST: Then do animals know how to think??
Me: (continue to copy notes, ignoring ST)
ST: Why do children learn things so fast? Like, they are fast in learning languages.
Me: Coz their minds are not filled up with knowledge yet.. still blank.. so they learn things easily.
ST: Don't they ask questions when you teach them?
Me: They don't know how to ask...? Or they don't know how to think to ask..
ST: Why not? You see.. those babies, they know how to cry when they are hungry..
Me: (kekdao) You'll know when you become a mum.
ST: Then I'll force.. ask my children why don't they ask questions when I teach them to learn things. 'Why don't you ask questions?!' Haha..
Me: They'll be scared of their mum who's so weird! =P They'll go 'why is our mum like that??'
ST: (laughs)

After Chemistry, preparing to leave for ESLS class..

ST: Do animals know how to think?? What's the difference between human's brain and animal's brain? They are made of the same material..
Me: (kekdao) Dunno! Go search encyclopedia or what la.. (walks away to my ESLS class)
