the first thing that comes to mind is that kids have a tendency to find creative ways to describe their actions to their peers. Usually there is more to the story than they choose to share. For instance, a few years ago, when my son was in high school one of his friends was telling us that his schedule included 2 study halls 3 days a week because all of the other classes during the period of one of the study halls was full. I thought nothing of it until a week later when the kid's dad was telling me that he had been struggling in his math class so the school offered to let the kid join the math teacher's study hall for tutoring in lieu of another elective class.
