I made the kids a menu, and they chose what they wanted for lunch. When I delivered their order to the table, they immediately started looking at each other's food. Sarah said, "I wish I would have chosen fish sticks. Hey Noah, I'll give you half of my peanut butter and jelly sandwich for half of your fish sticks." Noah had five fish sticks on his plate, and he figured Sarah didn't know what half of five was, so he said, "How many fish sticks would I have to give you?" Sarah answered two, and Noah winked at me. Then he told her that it would really be two and a half, but that he didn't want to give up even two, so he suggested they just trade bites. After trading bites of their main course, the decided to trade a slice of apple for a segment of clementine. Having never been to school, they don't know about school kids trading lunches, so it must just come naturally. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
