What am I?


Yesterday I played the 'What Am I?' game with one of my classes. It's a game where I list some attributes like "I am red" and the kids have to guess what I'm talking about.

The first detail I wrote down was "I have two legs." The second detail I wrote down was "I have no teeth." Immediately hands went up, and I called on one of the kids.

"Grandmother!" the kid shouted. I began laughing so hard that the kids thought maybe they were really close with that guess, so they started shouting "Grandfather!" as well.

I regained composure and said, "No, not grandmother or grandfather."

"Uncle?" one little girl asked.

Ah, the pure logic of children.
