the response of 11 year old fat somali boy:

 

"i am going to open a chicken and chip shop in Burtinle, Somalia"

 

Sayid: what are you going to call it?

 

11 year old fat boy: *says he is going to call after his name*

 

Class mate: call it "fat boy"

 

now my question to you lot is - which one of you is going to eat there? and what do you think of this young man's plan?

[unknown1]

the 11-year old boy is funny. he's only young, he will change.

Are you seriously a Teacher?

 

Calling a poor kid fat?!. What a selfesteem killer.

[SayidSomal]

^^how do you know he is poor? since fatness is equated with wealth in african.

 

what is selesteem and do somalis have it?

[True2truth]

I think the fact that he has plan says a lot. He is using his trademark to market his idea which only shows how confident he is with his idea and himself.

[Nephissa]

Some of you people could learn a lesson or two from that phat kid.

 

All I ever wanted to be when I was younger was to be rich, beautiful, and happy...well 2 out of 3 aint bad.

[N.O.R.F]

Kids need to forget about 'home' and worry about grades at GCSE/A Levels and progressing from there. Be ready for the real world as it were.

^enough said

[Jacaylbaro]

It was wrong to ask the kid that question in the first place. His replay was right though, he just said what he likes no more no less.

[Som@li]

Maybe his father was a chef,

Sayid, what did you want do when you grew up when you were at the age of 11? Were you a fat kid or a typical skrony Somali child with lugo istakiin?

 

Leave the child be and have his dreams!
