This is my daughter's most original way of breaking the news that she didn't do too well in her Chinese language test. She breaks into a song at bedtime. Completely improvised.
"O Mama, your eyes are as round as the ... zeroes that I get on my Chinese paper...
O Mama, your eyeballs are as crossed as the "x"es that my teacher marked on my test paper ....
O Mama, your lips are as red as the red ink that fills the pages of my test paper ....
O Mama, your cheeks are as fat as the scary Chinese test paper that I didn't like sitting for ....
O Mama, your ears are as wrong as the words that I wrote wrongly when I should have written something else ....
O Mama, your legs as as long as the cane that my teachers threatens us with ....
O Mama, your hair is as black as my teacher's face when she returned me my test paper ...
and in her soprano finale ...
O MAMAaaaaaa.......!! I love you SOOOOOoo!!!!"

Wouldn't anyone forgive this little angel easily?!! :)
