He can call me Flower if he wants to...

So I was playing joke tag with my students (y'know, you catch a kid and then another kid has to tell you a joke before you'll free the caught kid) and the wiliest of the students started calling me "Hot Pocket."

Must Be Iron Poor Blood

Ida: What's your favorite food?

T: Sushi.

J: Raw spinach.

W: Pepperoni pizza.

R: Vanilla ice cream...or sushi.

P: Sand.

Students make various giggling sounds. My pen hovers over my paper.

P: It's good. I like it.

General confusion continues. I write the answer down.

P: I really do eat sand.

K: So do I, but I wouldn't say it out loud.
