It happened Tuesday at recess.
"(Put in any third grade names here) are eating blue snow!"
I run over to the third graders who were being accused of eating blue snow. Sure enough, there was blue snow there.
"It tastes like blueberries!"
"It's so good!"
"Do you want some?"
"Um, NO. And you shouldn't be eating it either."
"Why?"
"We don't know where it came from. We don't know who poured it there. We don't know if the person who poured it there had any contagious diseases - like Hep A or Hep B or Hep C . . ."
"What's Hep C?"
So done with the arguing. What happened to students who would stop when an adult said 'no'? I gave them the correct answer:
"It's a blood borne pathogen."
