Year 8: (Enthusiastic, engaged) Lunch
Me: (Happy with their enthusiasm and engagement.) Almost, but petit means little, so what does it mean?
Year 8: (Hands waving, thinking, learning.) Breakfast.
Me: Well done!...incidentally, has anyone wondered why breakfast is called breakfast?
Year 8: (Ramadan has recently finished.) Oh yeah! It's cos you break your fast!
Me: That's right!
Y: (Out of left field. Thinks he's caught me out. Finger raised and eyebrow craftily cocked.) But Sir, isn't it called breakfast because you eat breakfast cereal!
