I have many kinds of kids in my classes. Today’s Kindergarten Edible Geography class is always my favorite. Let me introduce some of the characters:
1. The “hungry-chubby” kid: As SOON as we walk into the classroom, he’s hungry. You would have thought he has never eaten before. But believe you me, his physique tells otherwise.
2. The “Let’s-pretend-we’re-riding-ponies-over-rainbows” kid: She’s pretty cute- and has quite the imagination. Always thinking up something new. And always giving me parts of her lunch.
3. The “From-another-planet kid”: He can’t sit still. He can’t even sit. Whatever we’re doing, he’s not doing it. Guaranteed. But not in that naughty, rebellious kind of way. Just in that “I haven’t landed yet” kind of way.
4. The “non-eater” kid: Whatever we’re making, he won’t eat it. It doesn’t matter if I’m handing out Ho-Hos and Cheetos. He simply won’t partake. Maybe he and “hungry-chubby” need to be better friends.
5. The “taste-of-India” kid: Love this guy. Today he wore a hoodie that said, “Good in the hood.” He throws a little Indian flavor into everything.
6. The “my-name-is-India” kid: You can tell she comes from a health-conscious family, with the almond milk plenty of organic foods. Sorry I fed your kid Rice Krispie treats again, mom.
7. The “hygiene-is-not-my-first-priority kid:” Yes, I like your Stawberry shorcake pants. But maybe you oughtta give them a wash every week or two. Or three.

Maybe I ought to sell tickets to this bad boy.
