The context: students were discussing audience awareness and establishing strong positions in persuasive writing. We read some examples, and then students were responsible for creating their own persuasive arguments. They could either focus on supporting an action or arousing sympathy from their readers.
Student 1: Can we make stuff up?
Me: Well, it needs to be realistic.
Student 1: Can we say we have lots of babies?
Me: Do you have lots of babies?
Student 1: ... Can I say my mom has lots of babies?
Student 2: Man, I wish my mom would stop having lots of babies.
