Lunch duty is always a treat in elementary schools. You are up more than you are down opening milk cartons, handing out condiments, replacing dropped utensils, and wiping up spills.
One day, as I sat with my students, I was called over to help a child open his milk carton. When I got back to my seat, I took at drink of my tea. The child next to me asked "Does it taste good?". I told her that it did indeed. She smiled proudly and said "I stirred it for you!" Holding my cup in midair since I was about to take another sip, I asked "How did you stir it for me?" She smiled again and held up her index finger.
Another time, I brought a fast food salad. The child beside me exclaimed "Oohhhhhhh, I love those little baby tomatoes!" The next thing I knew she was reaching over and popping them in her mouth.
Let this be a lesson to all you young teachers out there. Never leave your lunch unguarded!
