Macaroni

For a "get the day started" exercise, I had one of my classes brainstorm as many vegetables as they could.  They only got a point if no other team thought of the same vegetable (like Scategories).  I was pretty lenient, beans and bean sprouts, and paprika all made my cut.  I was a stickler however when it came to the tomato, insisting it was a fruit to many cries of protest and, "In Korea it's a vegetable", sorry kids.  My favorite though was, "Macaroni".  I was trying to be open minded thinking to myself, "Maybe there's a Korean vegetable that sounds like macaroni that I don't know..."  So I asked the kid to draw it on the board.

You'll notice the macaroni noodles growing off the stem.  The class was in hysterics.
