Nadia Santoni Madeddu is a teacher who teaches at the San Donato primary school in Sassari.
For years he has collected conversations with his pupils on the most disparate topics.
A sort of diary was born, here are some speeches divided by topic.
The failure of feminism 2.0
«But do you know that how you dress yourself I don't even see it on television?».
"Really! And is that a good thing or a bad thing?”
«A bit ugly mae'».
"And why?".
«Because in the world you have to be fashionable to make males fall in love and females crack».

Talks and concerns
"How come mom didn't come to the interviews?"
"Maybe he doesn't want to come, I don't know."
«But I need to talk to her, how do we do it?».
"Do you know what mae is? She's worried about Giovannino who, however, has already been taken away alive and that Davide hasn't been taken away yet and maybe he's dead».
"And who are these?"
«Those from the sea who took away alive yesterday one who is Giovannino but not David, they haven't taken him away yet».
“But where did they get it from? Who "took it away? And, above all, what does it have to do with your interviews?".
«So, they took Giovannino out of the sea, who I don't know, of the people who take the others out of the sea and my mum has something to do with it because she's worried because Giovannino was playing with Gabriele».
«And who is Gabriel?».
"My brother".
«You've melted my mind, I just want to know if you know why mom didn't come to the interviews. Stop".
«I told you mae, maybe she's worried about Giovannino».
"Get out!".
"Where?".
"Wherever you want, as long as it's away from me."
Certain conversations with seven-year-olds remind you of the Sel congresses, only that seven-year-olds have extenuating circumstances.

The bad words
«Mae', is "punch" a dirty word?».
General laughter.
"No, it means punch."
«And little pea?».
«Well... no, it means big dick I think, even if it should be said: big dick».
General laughter.
«And so if I say: I'll punch you in the mouth it's not a dirty word, is it?».
"No, it shouldn't be, even if it's not a nice thing to say to another person."
"And so even if I tell you that I'll throw a pea into your mouth, isn't that a bad word?"
General laughs.
"And why would you 'throw' a big pea in someone else's mouth?"
Here we come right to the general confusion.
From the background, the merciful seven-year-old: "And it's enough to say these things to the teacher that she, poor thing, is old and has menopause!".
I'm not sure that informing them of my thermo/psychological conditions was exactly a good thing.
PS I still think that whoever becomes my student has previously been subjected to a casting on the island. I guarantee that certain speeches are made only with me.
