Before every meal, my teaching partner's middle kid (her actual child by birth, not a student) says "Awwwww, man!" a lot! I mean A LOT, and mostly before they eat.
And then my partner figured out why.
You see, her kids go to a private Christian school. Her middle child is in preschool. Each day at snack time, they sing a song before they eat. She has begun singing the song at home too, right before meals.
And she ends it with "Awwwwww, Man!"
'Cause that's what you say at the end of a prayer.
