So I said Jessica go round it

I was taking this group of seven-year-olds for cross country. Part of the course was just a bog so I was telling them to go round it. So I said Jessica go round it and I was watching the other kids cause there were about 30 of them and making sure they’re all okay and then I turned round and there was Jessica and two other little girls just going round and round the bog! They just take you literally.

During a cross country with a group of seven-year-olds, the speaker told one of them to go round a bog, but upon turning back around, found Jessica and two other girls going round and round the bog, taking the instruction literally.
