Today, a special needs student I teach come to the school after 2 days off because he went to Malaysia. We were so busy right now with stuffs for exhibition so I asked him to copy a sheet of paper he needs. I went to the rest room because the direction to where the photocopy machine was the same so we went together. Photocopy machine was next to the lift and the rest room was across the lift. Before i turn left to the rest room I thought he will turn right toward the machine, but woops,,, he went straight to the stair. "Hey where are you going?" I asked. "Mmmm, copy this paper. Anyway, where's the photocopy machine again?" He asked me back. "Oh right, I didn't realize it was here before, Hahahahahah" He answered his own question while looking at the machine which was only 5 steps away from where he stand. "You've been absent for only two days, what will happen if you absent for a week long?" Then I asked again. "Probably I will forget where my school is, well that's still fine as long as I don't forget ehre I put my PS4." He replied. "Whattttt????" . "Nah, I am just kidding Miss Aida". He joked.
The machine has always been there and never been moved anywhere actually.

You captured a fun interaction between you and your student. I love your question: ""You've been absent for only two days, what will happen if you absent for a week long?" and your student's good-humored response is perfect.

Attention can be a fragile thing. Or it can be incredibly durable -- as the student's joke about his PS4 shows.
