The Definition

I was at homework table with 3 sassy fifth graders.  2 of them I've known for several years now.  They were chatting away and not homeworking, when I said, "Let's put the kabosh on all the talking."  They asked me what kabosh meant.  I told them, and because I had my laptop I googled the term to give them the exact definition.  Then one little sassy asked me to look up the term hob-knocker.  I asked where she had heard it.  They all answered that they heard it on I Carly, but they didn't know what it meant.  I looked it up and slammed my computer screen down when I read that hob knocker is a guy who hits another guy in the face with his penis.  This really piqued their interest.  I told them that I highly doubted the term was on I Carly.  They insisted it was and asked me repeatedly to tell them what it meant.  So I did and we all laughed for a really long time after that.  Come to find out, the term has other definitions, but none of the definitions are appropriate school conversation.

I had a good time with the 5thsters at homework table today.  After the whole hob knocker incident, we watched some you tube videos about rides at King's Island and found out how much the tickets cost.  The girls really want to go to King's Island this summer.  I hope they get to go.  They're great gals.
