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.

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