Players: Team One and Girl K.
The Event: I'm explaining a math game that students will be playing in small groups. As I'm turned around, writing on the board, I hear Team One collectively saying, "OOOOOH! Girl K is eating her chips!" I turn around, glance at Girl K, and ask why/if she was still eating her snack. She shakes her head, but Team One protests. The conversation goes as follows:
Me: "Girl K, why are you eating your chips? Snack ended five minutes ago."
Girl K: "I'm not even eating them! I'm not eating 'em!" *turns to face me*
Me: "Girl K! You're spitting crumbs at me! What do you mean, you're not eating them??"
Girl K: *with crumb-tongue and grease-fingers* "NUH-UH! I'M NOT! I ain't even eatin' 'em! They lyin'! They tryin' to get me in trouble!"
Despite the blatant evidence on her hands, face, and tongue, I bend down to investigate the innards of her desk. Sure enough, a full tube of Pringles is sitting there, open, not even almost camouflaged by her books, folders, and school box.
Maybe you had to be there ...
