Cry Little Sister

I made my first student not only cry today but become so traumatised that I don't think she'll want to come to NOVA ever again! :D

We were playing a "snap" like game where I called out an English word and we both race to hit the card with the picture with a fly swat. We were playing fine for about 4 minutes but then I swung my swat down fast and it made a loud noise. She froze and after a few seconds started crying hysterically. I took her to her mother who was watching from outside the classroom. I joked "Is teacher scary?" in Japanese to the girl and she replied "SCARY TEACHER!!! SCARY TEACHER!!!" (in Japanese).  Kind of dunny and cute, but she just didn't stop crying for the next 40 minutes AT ALL. She was still crying when she left!

Different teachers tried to calm her down but she was not petrified of ALL teachers! She must be something in a thunderstorm!
