Sleepovers

During Lunch, 5th grade student

Mini Homefry: "Mr. Sensation, can you come over here? I need to ask you something."
Sensation: "Well why can't you come over here and ask me?"
MH: "It's a personal question and I don't want other teachers to hear."
S: "Good Grief."

I walk about 15 feet away from the other teachers to talk to this girl.

MH: "Mr. Sensation, did you ever have sleepovers when you was a kid?"
S: "Yeah, sometimes, but not very often."
MH: "And did you have lots of fun at them?"
S: "Yeah, we had a good time. Why are you asking me this?"
MH: "Oh. Well how about now that you're an adult? Do you still have sleepovers? I bet they'd still be a lot of fun."

All of a sudden, it becomes clear as day to me exactly where she is going with this line of questioning...

MH: "Because I seen you and Ms. Blorgenschplatts talkin' to each other. Do you ever hug her? Is you feelin' Ms. Blorgenschplatts?"
S: "I am not talking to you any more."
MH: "But Mr. Sensation! I'm just curious. Do ya'll be havin' sleepovers together?!"
S: "I'm walking away from you."
