tennis shoes & fried alligator legs

Student: Can I have a tennis shoe for my nose?

Me: A what??

Student: A tennis shoe.

I'm pretty sure he meant a tissue!!

Me: What would you like for lunch? Your choices are chicken nuggets, turkey with gravy or a cheese sandwich.

Student: I dunno

Me: Well sweetie, you've gotta pick one.  Chicken Nuggets?

Student: Nope

Me: Turkey

Student: Nope

Me: Cheese Sandwich

Student: Nope

Me: Just Cheese

Student: Nope

Me: Just Bread

Student: Nope

Me: Well, honey, what about fried alligator legs? (said very jokingly)

Student: Mmmmm, Yes (said with a big nod and smile)

Me: Seriouly, have you ever had fried alligator legs?

Student: Yes, they are yummy!!

Me: Where have you had them?

Student: In Boston with my family.

Me: Alrighty then.....

I just wrote down that he wanted a cheese sandwich then moved on to the next student.  His response....

"I'll have what he's having!"

Ironically the chicken nuggets were actually chicken strips today.  

Would it be bad if I told those two boys that the chicken strips were fried alligator legs??
