I was working today, running the Saturday session at the adventure playground. At the end of the afternoon the children come together for a snack and a drink. They are used to my ‘biscuit’ tic but it confused and amused many of them this afternoon when I announced that they needed to come and sit down for biscuits.

I had several conversations that went like this:

TH: It’s snack time, come and sit down for a biscuit.
Child: What are we having for our snack?
TH: Biscuits.
Child: For real?
TH: Yes, we are actually having biscuits.

When they were sitting together in a circle we all chanted, “Biscuit, cha, cha, cha!”
