Mango Yoghurt

This particular 8-yr-old boy is usually really good (ie focused) for about 20 minutes, sometimes 25... and then he starts to get a bit silly, and in recent weeks has ended the lesson talking in a made up language (of which I think there are 3 in his repertoire).  Today he walked into the lesson talking in a made up language, and he didn't switch to his focused self for very long at a time.  By the time he was packing up, I realised what I should have asked at the beginning.

Me [lightbulb]: Ah - what did you have for afternoon tea?
Boy [mumbles]
Me: Chocolate?  Is that what you said?  You had chocolate for afternoon tea?  That explains a lot...
Boy: No... Yoghurt.
Me: Yummmm.
Boy: Mango yoghurt.
Me: Double yum!
Boy: .... aaaannnnd ... I had a lot of it...

Sugar

11-yr-old, 9:30 am lesson, the morning after Speech Night (her first).

Girl [energetically]: Guess what I had for breakfast?  Oh and by the way I'm really tired... So for breakfast I had a pop tart, and toast, and nutrigrain.
Me [enthusiastically]: Oh goody, sugar!
Girl [grinning like this is the best morning ever]: Yep!  And [drooling-ly, spreading out the word] avocado...
Me: Yum!
Girl: It was soooo good.

Sleepover Antics

I asked a 9-yr-old about her weekend. 

Girl: No... nothing exciting... oh wait! We had my birthday party at Laserforce and it was so much fun!!!  ... Oh, and then we had a sleepover.  Same people as last time, too [grins].
Me: Were there any midnight feasts this time?
Girl: Yes, but we accidentally fell asleep.  We had a bowl of cinnamon sugar, and we were putting tiny bits of it on our tongue to stay awake, but it didn't work.  We fell asleep at about 10:30 then woke up at 4 for the midnight feast.  Next time, we might use a teaspoon each time for the sugar.

She then listed all the foods they had eaten at the midnight feast.  Snakes, chocolate, and roll-ups!  We both love roll-ups, and both have mothers who wouldn't/won't buy them.  Other means required.
