So...I work with children. And of course they say the most remarkable things sometimes.
Assisting in a class that is having a word making "competition" with the word CHRISTMAS. What 2 letter words can you make with the letters from Christmas. Three letter? sam, tam, cam, ram, mit, sit...you get the gist. So 4 letter words come up. The words are flying here...they're really getting it! So little Josh, (did I say this was grade one?) says to me quietly while this is all going on....
**Mrs.Harris I think we could do the word SHIT, but I know it's not a nice word so we can't do that one.
**What word? (doing a big head shake, did I hear that correctly?)
**SHIT...you know the word SHIT? It's not a nice word. But those are the letters from the word christmas. (imagine this with a little lisp)
**Oh yes, Josh, I understand. you're right, it probably wouldn't be very appropriate to use that word for here.
**Yes, Mrs.harris, SHIT is not a very nice word to use in school is it.
**That's right Josh, smart thinking not to use that word....what was it again? (*snicker to myself*)
**Shit.
Good Josh....what other words can you make?
Sometimes it's really hard to keep a straight face

OMG, that's freaking hilarious! What an exchange! Right up there with "asscream". LOL
ReplyDeleteMan, you are one cool teacher. LOL
ReplyDeleteI wasn't cool with the fact that he used the swear word, just the fact how non-chalantly and innocently he talked to me about it . I egged it on a bit, I know, but how funny it was! Like we were having a sex talk or something! :lol:
