Demonstrative speeches tend to be a little time consuming due to the setup and tear down aspects. Especially when it's a food related speech. Today my kids were a little off in addition to getting speeches ready. We had the first round playoff game last night for football and it went great, which means the kids are thinking about football, not English.
One of my kids was trying to hurry every one up, even though he has already given his speech. But he was supposed to be helping his twin sister with hers; she would use him to demonstrate how to escape an attack.
Student: Hurry up, guys! Let's go, guys! Come on!
Me: Relax. Student, patience is a virtue.
Student: Well, she might, but not on purpose. We've practiced.
Me: (Long pause, where I just look at him in confusion.) Wait, what?
Student: Wait, what did you say?
Me: Patience is a virtue?
Student: Oh, I thought you said 'Paige is going to hurt you.'
These kids of mine...
