Make Like A Tree And Leaf

(I work at a pre-school and I’m finishing up with a student in the bathroom. As we walk down the hall back to the classroom, he spots a leaf on the ground.)

Student: “Hey, Miss [my name]! What’s that leaf doing inside?”

Me: “Oh, it might have blown inside through the door or it might have been on someone’s shoe.”

Student: *marches over and picks up leaf* “Hey, leaf! What are you doing inside? You don’t belong here! Go back outside! Go home!”
