I teach pre-kindergarten at a Catholic school. Love, love, love my job. The children never cease to amaze and amuse me. Today was no exception.
I had a little boy bring me a sticker to wear. He was very adamant about where on my shirt I should place it . . . immediately. "Oh *Johnny*! How cute! Thank you!" I told him.
He replied, "It's a pole dancer."
Now *Johnny* has some typical pre-k speech issues. I responded, "I'm sorry honey. I couldn't hear you." I was really hoping I heard wrong.
"It's a pole dancer."
"*Johnny*, I think you mean HULA dancer."
"Oh! Yeah." Glad we cleared this issue up before he went home.
Aw! That's like when I said 'Regina' out loud for the first time. Except peers meanly corrected me - not a thoughtful adult.
