Coming back from lunch, one of my students with a mild speech problem had something very urgent to tell me:
"Missr [sic] Gwham, Missr Gwahm! That kid (here he's pointing at a new student in my class) was saying bad words at lunch! He was saying the B word!"
At this point, I think I know what the B word is, but really? First graders?
"Yeah, B-I-S-H!"
While it is hilarious that "bish" is EXACTLY how this student would pronounce the aforementioned B word (yay for spelling practice!), what KILLED me was that one of my quiet little proper Vietnamese girls leaned over and told him firmly,
"Levi, it's spelled B-I-T-C-H"
That was a laugh-behind-the-upheld-paper moment.
