My Peeps...

At school we recently went on a field trip to the Rec. Center for a reading reward party. The kids were allowed to swim, etc. Before we left, I being the dutiful teacher, went over the rules of the game. I told them they were going to live Noah's Ark Rules. . .two by two. They had to have at least one buddy or more if needed. I, being hip, referred to them as their peeps. Which as you know means, my people, friends, homie's, etc. Well, I then started to create real situations that may arise...like..."If you have to use the restroom, make sure you know where your peeps are!" Being the professonial that I am, I carried on without a hesitation while scanning the room. Of course there was that handful that are euphanism smart who were giggling and looking at others to see if they got it too. Oh the great times of saying goofy things in hindsight, or trying to say a word and getting tongue tied and a close sounding swear word emerges. We are all human! Thanks for understanding...my peeps.
