D: Amy made a noise at lunch today and made my water go up and spill everywhere! And my food all went up in the air and then it came back down and all landed back on the plate in the same place – it just went up, and then back down.
Me: So Amy made you jump when you were holding your fish and chips at lunchtime?
D: Yes.
Me: I bet you haven’t had many portions of fruit and vegetables today – what did you have with your fish and chips?
D: Ketchup.
Me: Ah. Is that all?
D: And one pea.
D: I LOVE that type of fish we had at school today!
Me: What sort of fish was it?
D: You know the fish that’s crusty?
Me: Was it battered?
D: No, you know the one that’s a flattened circle?
Me: I think the menu said it was fish in batter. Was the fish inside, with a crunchy coat on it?
D: Yes – it was orange outside. How do they make it? Do they kill the fish, then make it into the crunchy shapes, then chop the tail off?
Me: Something like that!
D: Do they suck the blood out first?
Me: Yes, there’s no blood in it when you eat it.
D: And they take the bones out, and the inside bits out… Do they take the brain out?
Me: Yes.
D: Yuck! I’d like to see that. I’d like to try taking a brain out, just to see. I’d have to wear gloves though, because it would be all yucky. Not the gloves I wear outside though – that would be silly – gloves like in my science kit.
