So much for being enthusiastic.

Just a random memory that came to mind.

Teacher: "Now, turn to page X of your workbook and take out your colour pencils."

Sound of ruffling pages

e-y at age 5 sees two outlines of figures, one of a boy and one of a girl (like those on toilet doors).

Teacher says something about colouring blue for boys and red for girls.

e-y doesn't listen properly and eagerly uses blue to fill in the outline of the boy and red to fill in the outline of the girl.

Teacher walked by as e-y was finishing. Teacher said loudly: "Why did you colour both? You should just colour the girl."
