A short conversation with a 2nd grader

There are these two girls in one of my classes that, my alphabetical order, sit together. As they were walking in to my class today, I called their names and asked one of the girls to sit in the next row back for today. They both ignored me and walked away.

"______, come here please"

She slowly walks back up to me.

"I was talking to you when you came in the door."

Blank stare

"Would you like it if I walked away from you while you were talking to me?"

"Yes."

Not the response I was going for! I guess I need to learn to stop asking questions to which I am expecting a certain answer. Well played, 2nd grader. Well played.
