So my days are always adventurous and I tend to find myself in odd situations. When dealing with 250 students ages 8-13 daily, it is always interesting to see and hear what they come up with.
One of my 3rd graders (IA) came up to me in the hallway prior to class starting. She had a look of absolute panic on her face, so I inquired. Her response to me was she just coughed something up and was holding it in her hand. Without trying to laugh at her seriousness or want to get sick myself, I showed concern. She then proceeds to open her hand and show me that she coughed up a piece of her braid. Bleck. (My guess is that she was chewing on her braids, did not realize she chewed one off and swallowed it.)
Lesson: When a child tells you she coughed something up, just send them to the bathroom immediately. DO NOT look at the object.
