Titty Twisters

The Boys and Girls Club after school program is not a free for all daycare center. The kids actually have planned activities and supplemental instruction every day.

Each week the different grades are assigned different "enrichment activities". The first graders are doing a program called
Peacebuilders.
We were discussing the importance of peace and how our actions can increase or decrease it.
A sample discussion from Monday:

Me:
What are things we do that decrease the peace?

Kid 1:
pushing other people.

Me:
Yes, what else?

Kid 2:
not sharing

Kid 3: hitting other people

Awesome Kid:
giving girls titty twisters

Me:
Wait..... what?

Awesome Kid: titty twisters?

Awesome kid had a serious look on his face. He was not joking around. I looked over at my aide as we both started laughing. I was so proud that 6 year old kids were catching onto to the idea. With tears in my eyes I replied:


Me:
Yeah, titty twisters definitely decrease the peace.

Then I made them color because I couldn't stop giggling.
