Her Triathlon ‘Prize’
March 17, 2009 - 9:56 pm
So my girl came in third for her category in the triathlon. She was a little peeved at losing out to boys – the first and second positions went to older boys. I was a little surprised that they did not segregate the sexes (this girls vs boys thing is so stale) but my guess is that they wanted to just make it a fun event rather than a competitive one.
The ‘prize’ is self explanatory too. No trophy or ribbons like in a competitive event, but a ‘winner’ sticker pasted on a huge tin of Milo.
Me, I am just glad she had fun.

Congratulations!
I read in Toto-Chan about a very good headmaster. Instead of letting his students win useless prizes, he lets them win food. That way, they can feel proud for contributing to their families as well.
