5th graders? I would've passed too and later on explain to the kid the official ruling on it.

Now I don't know how skillful the 5th graders are in your area, but here they're pretty unskillful that I pass on a lot of things, otherwise I would probably still be officiating the biddy game from two weeks ago.
