Tasting the Dirt

This boy is very literal. He argues points all the time because he takes everything so literally.

We were walking out with his kindergarten teacher this week and I was listening to this conversation.

H: "Do you remember this week when you asked me if I was tasting the dirt? Well, I think that dirt is yuck and I would never taste it!"

T: "Hayden, I don't think that you were eating dirt this week. I'm glad that you wouldn't taste it."

H: "Don't you remember? I fell down and you said that I was tasting the dirt!"

T: laughing..."Hayden, I asked you if you had 'bit the dust.' That just means to fall down."

H: "Oh, I thought that you meant that I liked to eat dirt."
