Today I was doing a shared writing project with my kids today. We were writing about pumpkins. Every sentence followed the pattern, "Pumpkins are..." and they told me something that pumpkins were. I had answers such as round, orange and full of seeds. One little boy however, told me that pumpkins were sexy. I wasn't sure I had heard him correctly, so I asked him to repeat his answer. I think he thought I was angry, so he kind of mumbled his answer and one of the children next to him was nice enough to repeat it very loudly. I tried not to laugh too much and I said that while sexy wasn't a bad word, it was one we probably shouldn't use in a grade 1 classroom. Another child piped up that it was a mom and dad word. I agreed with her while think, "What are your parents saying to each other at home?"
So there you have it folks. Pumpkins are sexy.
