Sometimes it takes a third-grader to make it all clear...

Mrs. B and a student are discussing some work when they are interrupted by Jacob.

Mrs. B: So, finish that part and then you can...

Jacob: Mrs. B! I hafta tell you something. I was going to bring my eggie to class but then my mom said no so I bringed this other thing from my Easter basket instead but my brother was mad cause it's his but he don't know I bringed it. (Insert two minutes worth of talking here.) Do you want me to show you? Can I take it out at lunch cause it's not during class and I can share it there with the other students so it is...

Mrs. B: (interrupting) Jacob, are you just talking to hear your own voice?

Jacob: (pause, thinking) Yes. Yes, I am.
