Kids ask a lot!


I'm taking a course named "English for special Purpose" this semester..
and of course it's about how to use English for special purpose in delivering material to children.
then my lecturer showed some list of children's behaviors and also their psychology stuffs..

little learners..um..I meant children, like questioning everything around them: situation, people's behaviors, and EVERYTHING!

then a question came to my mind. what if my future student ask me, "miss, why are you fat?"...how should I answer that??

after thinking for long period..now I come up with some possible answers and some possible reactions from the children.

(REMEMBER THESE CONVERSATIONS ARE 100% MY IMAGINATION)

*first choice*

Kid : "Miss, can I ask you a question?"
me : "Sure, what is it?"
Kid : "Miss, why are fat?"
me : "hm...because I eat a lot, sweetheart"
Kid : "chocolates and candy?"
me : "yeah"
Kid : ----moment of silent----,
"mommy's right, chocolate and candy is bad, I won't eat them anymore"
me : "%*%$#$@$%^"

*Second choice*

Kid : "Miss, can I ask you a question?"
me : "sure, what is it?"
