Buzz buzz!

I work at a school with very low income kids. I have learned how much more love and attention these kids need, and I have found it is easier to be honest and upright with them than trying to hide things. So today, I had my back remote with me. One of my kiddos (one who often comes up to me with this look of mischief on his face) asked what it was. I said it was for my back. He said "oh yeah, for your robot wires." (We have chatted before about my back). Then another kid said "what do your wires do?" So I told them that I can use my remote and it makes the wires move to make my back feel better. At which point they said, "I want to feel it!" I told them they wouldn't be able to feel anything, but all of them put their hands only back. So I pressed a few buttons, and their eyes went big and they all proceeded to tell me how they felt my wires zapping my back (which you really cannot feel externally at all). I love my kiddos... They are so funny!
