It's what Bucks do.

I was sitting amid a circle of 3rd graders, after just finishing a story in which we had to answer questions, and write a brief summary. One question: "What is the conflict in this story?" proved to be confusing to some, so they asked: "What is conflict?" I tried explaining it, as best I could: "It kind of like the problem, or the issue, or for example, when two of the characters but heads with each other and don't get along."

Well, there went my lesson. All the 8-year-old boy ears could hear was that I'd said butt-head, and the rest was lost to them. I tried explaining myself, but it was no use. They couldn't stop giggling for minutes. I think I made their day... and at least now I know there is one part of 3rd grade they'll never forget.
