It's Things Students Say Thursday with Erin over at Every Branch :) I'm going to share an event that could have gone horribly wrong. I was subbing yesterday in a 4th grade classroom and it was someone's birthday. She brought peanut butter bars (Rice Krispie treats made with peanut butter and a chocolate icing on top) to share. As she was handing them out, a different student informed me that if a student doesn't like the treat, he or she may pick a gumball from the teacher's stash. A couple of kids went to get gum while the rest chowed down on these amazing slices of heaven (obviously, I enjoyed the snack!). After taking a bite, a boy raised his hand and said "Can I have a gumball? I'm allergic to peanut butter." Internally I started to panic because I know that peanut allergies can be very serious. I asked him if he was going to be all right and he said "Yeah, I just hope I don't throw up". Oh goodness. Luckily, he was fine. I think his situation is more of a "I don't like peanut butter" rather than being allergic. Not sure. Anyway, I avoided the vomit this time.
I'm linking up a little late, but here we go. I'll start with one post of 25 facts. Head on over to Megan Writes and join!

[3] I prefer white cake over chocolate. And chocolate ice cream over vanilla.
[4] Recently my tastes buds have changed. A year ago, if you would've asked me two of my least favorite foods, I would have said tacos and Chinese food. Now, I crave tacos and orange chicken.
