Because you just never know what these kids will say. A sixth grader comes in every day to take his Ritalin pill at the same time I see my diabetics. Each day, I say, "Hi [Student], what's new?" He always pauses to come up with something new, sometimes a new lunchbox or a new book he's reading. But today, I got the best answer yet - and I've been seeing him since he was in fourth grade.
First, he answered my question with one of his own: "Do you know what sober means?"
"Yes..."
"Well my dad is in a club and he got a chip for being 5 years sober!"
