Flashers

This story is WILDLY inappropriate, but I can't help but share it because it had me in laughing out loud and holding my side mid-day today.

I wheeled my chair up to a table of five and six year old students assigned to my charge who were feverishly working on a myriad of literacy activities late this morning. I arrived mid-conversation to hear the following....  It is a good thing I had a scrap of paper and a pen in my pocket so I could scribble down the conversation verbatim.

Student 1: " When I was in Las Vegas for Spring Break we saw four guys in skirts that were showing people their butts."  (My interest peaked wondering what in the world he was taking about.  It was probably a couple of college kids wearing kilts or something.  Yes, I've always been good at making connections.)

Student 2: "They didn't have on any underwear?!?" - Said with disbelief.

Student 1:" No and one guy had writing on his butt."

Me: Not able to wait for the details to unfold.. "What did it say?"

Student 1: " I don't know it only had a few letters.  I couldn't read it." - He went on... "It was really inappropriate what they were doing." (He has heard me coin that phrase a time or two so it is nice to hear it used in a context that makes sense.)

Me: "What did your mom and dad think?"

Student 1: "They just ignored them.  It was out in public!  They were out in public!" - Emphatic emphasis noted

Me: "Oh."  (I know, quite the clever response, eh?)

Then I had to go on account of someone had "accidentally" taken a marker out of someone elses hand. - So, I missed the conclusion of the Las Vegas Flasher story.
