Were it not for Home Science, most of us would never know what a back stitch, hemming stitch, overcasting or herringbone stitch are. Where would boys and girls voluntarily knit booties in the absence of this crucial subject? In addition, where would the essential skills of making a lap bag, pin cushion or fringed mat have come from? I never got round to finishing my shorts though.
I remember the way Tois in class 4 and 5 would psyche up for standard 6 Home Science after a sneak preview of the textbook revealed that 'Adole' would be featuring prominently in the curriculum. Among the worst things someone could say to you was that 'Unasumbuliwa na Adole'. Anyhow, through it all, we learned that hips broaden, voice deepens and wet dreams start.

LOL!! Your posts are hilarious and so real! I finished my shorts but i'm the only one who called them shorts..every person who had a look at them gave them a different name. And they were pink?! Who wore pink shorts?!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lomel! My shorts were light blue, but everyone else got this really cool shade of material but mine looked horrid. Sad your shorts were unrecognizable.
