I need to make a post about the CRAZY OMG that my workplace has become (and I probably will at some point, hopefully before I actually lose it big time and do something morally or legally reprehensible), but for the moment I wanted to share this afternoon's Moment of Secret Hilarity.

The kids are working on a health project: "my plate, my healthy food" with the Phys Ed teacher. They're drawing food items on a large plate-shaped piece of paper.

Kid *shows me her drawing*: Do you like my project?
Me: Yes, it's gorgeous! Also, you drew a fennel, that's really original and I like it!
Kid: It's a chicken leg.
Me: Oh. Sorry.

Me *walks over to other kid*: Oh look, you drew mushrooms!
Kid: Er. No, they're chicken legs.
Me: Oh. Okay. Very pretty.

Me *walks over to third kid, looks at drawing*
Drawing *looks like a penis*
Me *blinks*
Drawing *looks like a penis with hairy balls*
Me: it's.... a chicken leg?
Kid *beams*: YES! It is!
Me: very pretty. Carry on. *walks away with dignity intact*
Drawing *totally is a penis with hairy balls*

I love my job sometimes.
