Breakfast Flashback, November 2017
Me, as pleasantly as possible: Student A, if you're so tired you should probably try to eat some breakfast before you go play because it can help your brain wake up.
Student A, crying immediately: Noooo, I'm not hungry, I don't want food!!
Me, taking his hand: Let's just go see what it is and decide if there is one thing you can eat.
*******walking to cafeteria, crying the whole way******
Student A, still crying: I just don't need food, I'm sad.
Me, to lunch lady: Excuse me, Student A is just wondering what is for breakfast today because he could use some food in his belly.
Lunch lady: Waffles today.
Me, overly and dramatically excited: See, Student A?! It's waffles!
Student A, immediately stops crying: GASP! I love waffles!
(bounces through the line with waffles in his hand)
