Me: So, if you had to pick only one traditional Thanksgiving food, what would you want to eat?
Student 1: Turkey
Student 2: Tamales
Me: What? No, that is not traditional Thanksgiving food. Try again.
Student 3: What? It's traditional for him!
Me: It might be traditional for him, but that isn't what I asked. Tamales are not traditional Thanksgiving food. Try again.
Student 2: You'll have to come back to me.
Student 3: Turkey
Student 2: What? Turkey? Who eats turkey for Thanksgiving?
He was completely serious.
I was speechless, so I moved on.
Luckily one student said stuffing. He is my new favorite. Another student responded to his answer.
Stuffing Hater: I hate stuffing, and pumpkin pie.
Me: WHAT? (evil look) I don't think I can talk to you any more.
So I didn't for at least 15 minutes.
I continued to make my way through the room. This turned out to be a way more challenging question than I anticipated. In the midst of a few more traditional answers, I received French Fries.
Me: Nope, try again.
Fry lover: Turkey fries?
Me: Nope.
I moved on.
Random student: Hey didn't you forget her? (pointing to Stuffing Hater)
Me: No, I didn't forget her.
Other random student: She didn't forget her, she's not talking to her because she doesn't like stuffing or pumpkin pie.
Last student: Meatballs
What the heck?
Stuffing Hater: Well, I don't really hate pumpkin pie...
A few minutes later, my new favorite student (you know, the stuffing lover) said: Miss O'Brien, I like your earrings.
Me: Thanks.
Favorite student: How much do they weigh?
Me: Uhhh, I don't know. I've never weighed them.
Favorite student: They've gotta be like 2 . 5 pounds each.
Me: I don't think so.
Favorite student: That's like how much I bench.
Oh, by the way, Student 2 (the tamale lover) ended up going with pumpkin pie. I didn't want to leave you hanging.
Student 1: Turkey
Student 2: Tamales
Me: What? No, that is not traditional Thanksgiving food. Try again.
Student 3: What? It's traditional for him!
