Mrs. Smythe, I found somesing on da floor. I sink it’s a raisin!”
“Throw it away, Sasha.”
“Wait, it's NOT a raisin. It’s a cockaroach!.”
“Throw it away, please Sasha.”
“It’s ok. It was NOT a cockaroach. It was a Taco Bell.”
I remember when I used to talk to fifth graders about Stonewall Jackson, Fort Sumter, The Revolutionary War, plate tectonics, prepositions, adjectives, onomatopoeia, similies, metaphors and fractions.
Today, I spent ten minutes trying to determine exactly what Sasha had found on the carpet.

this is me...everyday. Especially when the kids relate a lesson to something that happened to Ironman, or the Transformers or Power Rangers and everyone in the room has an aha moment. And I wonder, why am I here?
well if you had tasted it like she did you would know...its a taco bell...
i was really hoping it was a little hershey kiss.
What Brian said made me gag a little... but I have a feeling it is 100% true. Blech!
I would say good luck on your search for what it was... but I'm hoping it just ended up in the trash where it belonged... yes, there IS a reason I teach 3rd grade and NOT kindergarten! :)
Perhaps Taco Bell is the family code at her house for Cockroach ?
Oh those days of similar conversations as Mom, not Teacher! I relate now as a grandmother,daily inspired by my visit here.
Sounds like it was way past the "3 second" rule anyway.
