Hello all
I'm Evildea. Your God.
and today the craziest thing ever
happened to me and
I just need to tell you about it
So, you probably already know that
I have students
Can you see that I want
to tell you about this?
I have students
and they come to my house
and I usually teach them English
but some times I also, for example,
teach history and other interesting things
So, for example, I have one student
and she comes every Sunday with her mum
and they sit at the table
with me and we just read through the text
and divide it into parts
to understand each part of the text
because she doesn't understand
the entirety of the text that well
She can understand each word individually
but not in a great mess
So, she can't ...
I guess, understand the text in its entirety
So, we read the text
and today's text is about
voting in a democracy
So, we read it and she just couldn't
under the text
and ... I must say
She sat next to me and her mother next to her
and she just looked at her mother
and then looked at me and said
"I don't understand voting.
How does it work?"
and at first, of course, I tried
to clear up how it functions in government
but that didn't help at all
So, then I tried to explain
how it works through the school system
and then she started to understand it
a little better but not much
So, I decided that I needed to totally simplify
the subject for her and said,
"Imagine, that now I, you and your mum
we're sitting in a great big hall
full of people
and at the, I guess, stage of the hall
there's a uni student and he says to everyone
"You can, from now, eat chocolate or poo"
and when I say "poo", I used ...
I choose the English word "poo"
which isn't that bad of a word
and I said, "you can eat
chocolate or poo - you have two choices"
and she said, "Of course,
I don't want to eat poo
I would take chocolate"
and I said, "yes, yes! you can choose!"
and she said, "ok, so I want chocolate"
and I said, "Well, you don't only choose
the entire hall needs to choose"
and she said, "So, I would choose chocolate
he can have poo"
and I said, "No, no you need to choose together.
So, imagine that fifty percent of the hall
for example choose chocolate
then, that would mean that not enough people
choose it. So, sixty people need
to choose chocolate in order to get it"
and she said, "Ah I think I understand"
and I said, "ok"
and I grabbed three pieces of paper
and I said, "Ok, you need to write
your choice on this paper"
and she said, "Ok"
So, I gave one piece of paper to her
and one to her mum
and I said, "Ok, choose but
don't show me what you chose"
and she said, "Oh ok" and
she took it and very secretly
started writing chocolate.
I could see the movements of her pen
and he mum began writing,
I guess chocolate
and I thought, "Ok, now I want
to show what would happen if someone else
didn't choose chocolate"
So, I wrote "poo"
and I said, "Ok,
place your paper
in the middle of the table,
don't show us what you wrote
because the choices must be anonymous"
and she said, "Oh ok"
So, each placed their paper
into the middle of the table
and I moved it like this
and them I grabbed the first
and it said, "Chocolate"
and I said, "Ah great, so
we have one vote for chocolate.
That means that we need one more
to have chocolate"
and she said, "Oh ok, ok, ok"
She started to understand
So I gave her chocolate
Well no ... not real chocolate
I gave her the paper
which had chocolate written on it
and then I choose the second
and it said "poo"
and I said, "Uuuu one person has chosen poo
that isn't good"
and then I could see the girl
and she sat up straight a little in her chair
and I could see her eyes
widen a little
and she thought "Oh no
what would happen if someone choose poo again"
and I ... I sat there and thought
"This is really good"
and I grabbed this third piece and
I thought, "Ah this is the mum's paper,
I guess"
and I saw it, and I became shocked
because it said "poo"
it seemed that her mum had the same idea
as me and I said
"It says poo"
and the girl said, "I don't want poo
I don't want to eat poo"
and I could see that she was totally shocked
and I said, "No, no, no that doesn't mean
of course, we're not eating poo.
Don't think like that"
and her mum sat there and thought ...
I could see that she was thinking
"Oh shit, how did I do that"
It was the funniest thing
because the girl sat there
extremely worried and thought
"Do I have to eat poo"
and after that I decided that
I wouldn't run that exercise again
but now she understands
how voting works really well
and I just wanted to share that with you
