overheard in the playground

Do you guys want to play with me?

Sure. What do you want to play?

Sea animals. But you have to be a carnivore. Because I'm a carnivore, I'm a shark, and if you're not, I'll eat you. So you better be a carnivore. Either a shark or a killer whale.

I'll be a killer whale.

Okay, we'll both be killer whales. Let's swim!

Juma: Guys, guys, come here, I want to show you something.

What?

Juma: I have...soccer shoes! See? They have cleats to hold on to, um, to hold on to, the, um, ground.

Juma: You have to exercise a lot. And eat sports candy [fruits and veggies].

Friend: Yeah. To be healthy.

Juma: Then you'll be big and strong. See, feel my muscles.

Friend: Wow, you're strong. Feel my muscles.
