The students had been asked to bring in three items that represented who they are to show to the class.

Sam: (whipping out two goofy-looking, stuffed dolls) Okay, so my grandmother bought these for me and if you hit them, they say stuff.

Mrs. B: Does anyone have any questions for Sam?

Leila: Yeah, do they have names?

Sam: Oh, yeah. You know how when you get a stuffie, the rule is you have to name it? Well, this is Nick and this is Gary.

Mrs. B: I didn't realize there was a rule about "stuffies."

Sam: (nodding, completely serious) Oh, yeah.
