Sometimes I eat grass.....

I just finished calling the last child for my telephone english teaching job.  I was tired and irritated with the lesson but I got quite a laugh from the last little boy.  The lesson was about a girl named Rose who had some pigs.  She had a big white pig and smaller black pig.  The story says that she withheld grass from the white pig so she could feed the black pig first.  I had to ask the children questions about the story.  It was difficult for the children tonight.  I don't think they understood the story that well.  When I asked them questions about it there were many long pauses.  I threw in a couple of viewpoint questions just to see what they would say.  When I asked if they liked pigs most of the girls said yes while the boys said no.  After that I would ask them what the pigs ate.  They would reply: "grass" and then I would ask them if they ate grass.  They all said no except the last little boy.  After he said yes I asked him: "Do you like to eat grass?"  He replied: "I don't like to eat grass..(pause) but sometimes I eat a little."  I busted up laughing.  Hope you get a chuckle from it too.

  1. Sounds like an honest little boy...sometimes little boys eat dirt, sand, grass, and probably worse!
