You Want to Pinch My What???

This week is animal week at the gym. I love weeks that are a little bit different. It really provides an opportunity to play with the kids and have some fun. In my class yesterday, we got to act like spiders walking our feet up the wall, donkeys kicking their feet up high, horses galloping, bunnies bouncing, crabs walking...and that's where it got interesting.
"Get your pinchers out," I told the kids when they were doing crab walks. They think it's funny to act like they are going to pinch you with their pinchers. When it was Susie's turn (names have been changed to protect the...innocent?) she got her pinchers out, and I heard her repeating softly, "boobies, boobies..."
I looked at her, hoping I was hearing her wrong (but with this child, I was fairly certain I was not)...
"I want to pinch your boobies," she said.
Oh my.
All I could do was just laugh...and put my jacket on.

That class is notorious for moments such as these. Last week, I had a little boy going around whispering to himself, "What the heck? What the heck? What the heck in the world?"

They have vocabularies well beyond their 4 years, I can assure you.

All I know is that next time we have animal week, I'll keep the pinching aspect of the crab on the downlow!
