keep your dick in your pants

each afternoon, i drop my 5th graders off in their classroom and spend about an hour working with a boy in kindergarten. he is adorable, has a speech impediment, and has actually been described as looking a lot like me by more than a few teachers. for the purpose of this writing, he will be george. working with george consists mostly of practicing writing his name, something he gets great joy out of completing. also, your basic kindergarten reading activities, repetition and picture based stuff. he has been spending a lot of time with his hands in his pants lately and yesterday took it to the next level. awesome.

i got a call from the office asking if i could go speak to george for whipping it out in class to some girls. now, i am all for whipping it out and thoroughly enjoy being naked, so this was going to be a bit of talk that i couldn't full endorse. what i really wanted to say to him was "go for it. you're not going to really get in trouble. do what you want with that thing." instead, i went the conservative route.
me: george, i heard you were unzipping your pants and showing the class some parts of your body.
george: smiles, sheepishly, but not convincingly enough for me to believe he knows what i am talking about.
me: that part of your body is just for you, not for other people to see. unless it is mommy, daddy, or a doctor, it is just for you.
george: i unzipped my pants.
me: yes i know. in school, you need to keep your pants zipped up. your body is not for other people to see. do you understand you need to keep your pants on and zipped up?
george: pants zipped up?
me: yes.

at this point the conversation was basically done, i rubbed his head, slapped him five and we went into my classroom and drew for awhile.

i like this kid.
