English phrases can be confusing...

Third Grade Girl: "Can I have some more crackers?"
Me: "No, you already had snack"
Third Grade Girl: "But I can't hold it!"
Me: "What?"
Third Grade Girl: "You know, I can't hold it. I really need it. I can't hold it. I need some crackers"
Me: "You need to go to the bathroom?"
Third Grade Girl: "No, I am hungry. I can't hold it!"


Apparently she thought, "I can't hold it!" is to be used whenever you really want something, not just when you really have to use the bathroom.
