“Food for Thought”

To small children the facts are this: 1. You are an adult. 2. You drive a big yellow bus. Therefore you are an authority on all things and can be called on to answer any question. After some discussion about that cereal with the lion on the front, then it was determined that it was a tiger, this question was posed. Mr. Brandon if a tiger took a bite out of me how big of a bite could he get? Trying to be a factual science teacher I replied, “Well he would probably grab your head and his mouth is big enough to put your whole head in and his teeth would go right through your skull”. As if to discourage any child eating tigers in the area, he started hitting himself in the head and said, “I don’t know my head is pretty hard”. After about four blows to the head I agreed and let him stagger back to his seat. No, he’s not tiger food material.
