Nigel's voice is about to crack
Nigel told us that some of his friend's voices in his class have cracked and he says his will be cracking soon as well since he is already 11. Apparently you have to be 11 before it cracks - some of the other boys are still only 10, so they might have to wait for their birthday's to pass.
It is going to be a scary time for all of us - maybe not so much Nigel - I think he is looking forward to sounding more frog-like. There is a course (you can opt-out) in school called "The Growing Years", and yes, it does sound like some Mediacorp drama serial, but it isn't. The course covers all the content about puberty/adolescence and all the other icky things that most parents would find uncomfortable talking to their young children about.
Looks like we are entering a new phase here. Moody, grumpy, defiant teenagers - oh, I remember those days.
