AYAM DAY

In a school that I once taught in many years ago, the canteen vendors could only sell fried food on one day a week, I think it was Thursday. The kids would whack plates of chicken wings.
One fried food day, I was having a lesson with an upper sec class and even before the bell rang, the kids were packing up and ready for recess.
“I have not dismissed you yet.” I said.
“But it’s ayam day!” A student said earnestly.
I surrendered and let them go. Between the love for learning and the love of fried chicken, the choice is obvious!
