I'm reaching into my teaching archives for a kid story that makes me chuckle. I feel that it is necessary for me to preface this anecdote by telling you that "Brianna" is one of the sweetest, most soft-spoken girls I have ever met. She greets me everyday with a hug and a countdown to her birthday (as in, "Well, I guess it's only 57 more days 'til my birthday!"). That is why I was both surprised and humored - and maybe even a little bit frightened - by her unexpected wit.
Bell Ringer:
If you could prepare a meal for an enemy, what would you cook?
Brianna's Response:
I would make macaroni and cheese with hot dog pieces.
Me:
Wow, you're letting your enemy get off easy. That sounds pretty delicious!
Brianna:
(laughs quietly) Yeah, but he's a lactose intolerant vegetarian.
I'm thinking she had been stewing over this idea long before I inquired!
