I have lunch duty every Tuesday with classes 1-3. After making sure everyone is taken care of, the other lunch duty teacher and I pick different tables at which to sit. It's always a really big deal for the kids if you choose to sit with them, and they treat you like royalty.
Anyway, this Tuesday I sat at a table with four Class 2 boys. They all tried their best to hold their forks correctly and be little gentlemen. Towards the end, one boy confessed, "Mrs. Brueck, I'm full." He still had half a plate of food, so I replied, "I bet your stomach is full, but do you think your leg has any room in it? Why don't you eat a bite and see." Lunch was almost over, so I walked around directing traffic.
A few minutes later I came back to see if he had finished. His plate was clean. "Your leg must have had lots of room in it!" I remarked.
"Yes," he replied very seriously, "lots."
