I work at an At Risk school, and the other day while I was hanging out with the kindergarteners it started to rain. Really hard. So we had indoor recess. Every teacher's nightmare! They were crazy. So there are a few different centers and only four children can play at each center at a given time. I was hanging around the legos center when a little boy said, (they never get my name right.) "Ms. Casey LOOK!" He had made a man and a dog out of legos. I looked at them and said what an awesome job he was doing....he replied and I quote, "Ms. Casey, They're pimps. A pimp dog, and a pimp man. Yo YO!! They all pimps, i'm a pimp....you a pimp...." (Getting the picture?)
I couldn't help but laugh. What the hell is wrong with people? I'm not really sure whether or not he knew what a pimp was, but he had been exposed to everything that goes along with it, like:
- The pimp walk..... You know the slouching
- The pimp grab..... The grabbing of the "Hommies, Boys, Cash and Prizes"
- The signs... He threw his hands up in front of him with two sidways peace signs.
He's in KINDERGARTEN! He was playing with another little boy at the lego table. This little boy was making a wall complete with windows. 'pimp boy' as we'll dub him, kept telling the other little boy to put eyes at the top of the wall so it could watch the pimps.
Did I miss something? Is there now a class called Pimps 101...? Yo YO!
