I volunteered in Doodles’ Kindergarten classroom today. It’s always a fountain of writing material. Apropos of nothing, a friendly girl walked up to the table I was working at with Doodles. This is a transcript of our conversation.

Kindergarten Girl:  I’m allergic to orange juice…and eggs.

Volunteer Jefe:  Oh, I’m sorry, but I’ll be sure to never bring those to your classroom.

Girl:  I’m also allergic to sandwiches.

Jefe: Whoa, that’s too bad.

Girl: Well, I’m not allergic to them. I just don’t like the way they smell.

Jefe: Have you tried eating one?

Girl: If I did I would have to go into the bathroom and spit it out like this…(mimics vomiting)
