Cheeky

I think everyone is a little stressed out this time of year. The kiddos know that the teachers are going ape shit crazy because of the most stressful test of life. (Thanks, NCLB.) Thus, the kids need to act crazy because the teachers are acting crazy.

So this is how craziness plays off in 7th grade.

In advanced class, whilst listening to the radio:
"Ms. L, this song IS dirty. Listen. She talks about liking the way he is touching her."
I try to make it not dirty: "Guys. He's probably, you know, touching her cheek."
JP's retort: "What cheek?"

I admit. I deserved it. But let's just continue the conversation that occurs.

Next song: Say Ahh, by Trey Songz. I'll admit, I like this song. (Okay, more than like. I enjoy it every time it plays while we're on the Vegas dance floor. I heart this song a lot.)

So, I ALWAYS thought that this song was about drinking. They talk about drinking. Lots of different beverages. Mostly champagne. You know, open your mouth and drink champagne. OR cranberry and vodka.

My kiddos had other ideas.
JP: "This song is even dirtier than the last one."
Me: "What?"
Sassy: "You know. The girls have no cups and they have to open their mouths and say ahh. Come on, Ms. L."
Me: "Guys, this song is about drinking. DRINKING."
JP: "Yeah, drinking someone's 'special sauce.'"

Enter the PRESIDENT OF THE STUDENT COUNCIL.
El Presidente: "Yeah, alfredo sauce."

Me: "THIS DISCUSSION WILL STOP NOW."
