Puppet Personality

Today I let my students use puppets in class, because there was thunder, and they were pretty scared. Well, one of the boys, Martin, had this whole other personality emerge! He and his puppet were conversing about questions I asked THE WHOLE CLASS LONG: 

Me: So, is your puppet a boy or a girl? 

*Martin and Hormiguita duck behind a cabinet and confer. Hormiguita pops out.* 

Hormiguita: I'm a boy! *looks at Martin* Yes? 

Martin: Yes. 

Hormiguita: Yes. I'm a boy!
