Me: "Richard, are you okay?"
R: "Yes. I think I swallowed something."
Me: "What did you swallow?"
R: "Part of that." (points to his eraser)
Me: "Part of what?"
R: "That." (points to his eraser again)
Me: "You swallowed part of your eraser. It couldn't have been a big part because I don't see any chunks missing."
R: "Well, it was some of that." (points to the 'shavings' that are created when the eraser is used on paper)
Me: "Hmmmm...how did you swallow that? Never mind. Don't answer that. Are you okay?"
R: "I guess. Is is poisonous? Will I get sick?"
Me: "No. You have probably swallowed worse. You should just get some water and push it all the way down rather than try and cough it up."
R: "Am I going to be okay?"
Me: "Yes. Just get some water. And don't swallow that anymore. I'm not sure how you even swallowed it the first time."
I'm still confused as to how this happened!

Crying Update:
Today I had a crier (not his first time) because I didn't let him eat his chips during snack time. I have strict guidelines for snack time and only allow healthy snacks. I do NOT consider chips healthy. This kiddo got out his chips and everyone shouted, "Ms. L, are we allowed to have chips for snack?" Of course the answer was no, because they all know the rules. He began crying because he didn't bring a healthy snack and I wouldn't let him eat it. More importantly, he didn't bring a snack and pulled out part of his lunch to eat. I wouldn't have minded if it had been a granola bar, piece of fruit, or a 100 calorie pack. I don't know how much crying I can tolerate. Oh wait...NONE!
