When I was in third grade our teacher asked all the kids what our favorite dish was to eat. Well I had never heard the word dish used in place of the word food before. Everyone was naming their favorite foods but I was still convinced that they were eating actual dishes and when she came around to me, I said how can you eat a dish?! The teacher thought I was being a smartass and gave me such a mean look along with meaner explanation, she almost spit the words at me. She made me feel like such a fool!
