Floating Plate of Enchiladas...

Among all of my coaching activities I am teaching a level 4 swim lesson group. It's a lot of fun which is the reason I do it. I get in with the kids and level four means they should pretty much do swim team next summer. They are good little swimmers.
Well, there is a teeny, tiny little kid in my class named Roger. He is the smallest one by far but he is an awesome swimmer and more importantly he is a funny little critter.
Yesterday I was trying to correct their freestyle and I was explaining that I wanted them to reach out really far when they swim freestyle as if they were reaching for something they want badly, like maybe chocolate. Then I got distracted and started saying,
"Unless of course you don't like chocolate and you can pick something else like pixie sticks, or skittles, or...."

"Enchiladas!" Roger screamed this.

"Ok, or enchiladas," I said, "Reach out really far like you are reaching for enchiladas.."

Sometimes I kind of think out loud with the kids and I sort of mumbled,
"but enchiladas would disintegrate and fall apart if they really were in a pool"

Then Roger chimed in, "Not if they are on a floating plate."

Then Andy added, "and you would need a floating cup of milk if they are spicy to cool off your mouth."

Then I realized how far we had gotten off of swimming and turned the conversation around so we could get moving but I will tell you my mouth watered for enchiladas for the rest of the night.
