When "nipple" is the best option.

As the class is getting ready to be dismissed:

Jim: Hey! What are you doing? Geez, that's so gay!

John: Ewww. Really. You're a retard.

Me: Hey! I don't want to hear those two words again! Seriously!

John: Um, which two words?

Me: What? "Gay and retard."

John: Oh. We said "nipple" too.

Me (thinking): Nipple is fine. No problem at all with nipple.

Jim: Really? Nipple's okay? Oh. Okay.

Me: Yup. You can use "nipple" all you want. Just don't call each other gay and retard anymore.

John: Jim is such a nipple.

Me: Much better. Go to lunch now.

I was just hitting the "next blog" like, and browsing though some random blogs, and saw yours. I was reading some posts, and this one in particular made me laugh. I just had to say that!

just was flipping through next blog when I couldn't sleep and came across yours. I enjoy your storytelling style of writing. And your stories remind me a bit of my mother's 4th grade classes when she taught in southern CA near Los Angeles. This one especially made me chuckle with recognition.
