Lol you get a LOT of those when you work with kids. Years ago I was a Girl Scout camp counselor, and these kinds of questions used to drive me and my co-counselor NUTS! To cope, we got silly and made a game out of it. For example, a camper once came up to us with a piece of garbage and asked us what she should do with it. Instead of sighing and telling her to put it in the trash bin, we gave her the silliest, most ridiculous answers, such as "put it in your sleeping bag" and "tie a string around it, name it, and walk it all over camp, telling everyone it's your new pet". This ended up being one of the funnest things we did with our campers that year.... it became quite the game to play and EVERYONE competed to come up with the best answers.
