So I had this 'brilliant' idea today. Well, to be honest it was inspired by some of my students. At recess, some were catching bugs -- Ladybug pupa as D pointed out after school. So in the afternoon I broke out some magnifiers (nothing the kids could cook bugs with) and bug boxes. It's this whole set up for kids to look at bugs. Anyway, everyone got into it...even the girls, who in the beginning were grossed out by it. Then someone announces that they found two bugs and "they're stuck together." N, the brilliant boy that he is knows what that's all about and shouts..."You don't EVEN want to know what they're doing!" I burst out laughing...I mean how could you not? Then another savvy, worldly student comes up to me -- and yes, she knew what was happening too -- and says, "I just call it giving a piggy back ride."
