Before vacation in December, I went to a first grade classroom to get two students for group. I greeted him as I greet all of my students, "how are you?" He responded, "I have a wedgie." The second student felt the need to clarify that he did not have a wedgie.
I still laugh thinking about it. This is the goal of my job-spontaneous language. Pragmatics is the second goal...
I have a fifth grader I see individually who tells me she has a wedgie 3 times a week and then proceeds to pick it in front of me. Ahh...pragmatics.
