Most of my homeschool and Sunday School stories come from the kids, but this one comes from one of the helpers! He is only 16 and many of my earlier stories were about him, so it's no surprise that he's still coming up in "things the kids say".
Anyway, I was with my older group of younger kids when this particular helper came from his room across the hall to talk with me. The conversation went something like this:
Him: I need to leave the room for a couple minutes.
Me: No you don't.
Him: I need to get some water.
Me: You're supposed to do that before we start.
Him: I know, but there's something wrong with my coffee. There's something strange in it.
Me (and the children): <guessing random things that may be in his coffee>
Him: No, there's something black in my coffee.
Me: Is it coffee?
Him: No, it's like black bits in the coffee.
Me: So coffee grounds?
Him: Oh...yeah....I didn't think of that!
Me: You were concerned because there was coffee in your coffee?
Him: I was wondering of the sugar could go bad or something.
He left and returned to his room while we laughed and then returned to our game.
