In the 5th grade, kids are starting to get pretty big. I have a boy dominated class and today at the end of the day, one boy looked at me with an overconfident smile on his face and said,
"Mr. Lin, I'm almost bigger than you!"
Hypothetically speaking, in this situation would it be appropriate to say,
"Yes, you're ALMOST as big as me. But I'm still bigger and badder than you,"
and then proceed to accept a challenge to arm wrestle? Yes, I realize that beating a 5th grader in arm wrestling is no reason to carry any swagger, even if he one days grows up to be an NFL lineman or MMA fighter. Not that this actually happened or anything... just wondering if that could be deemed an appropriate response.
