a new teaching highlight

Yesterday a fourth grader asked me, "What does flirt mean?" The teacher gave me absolutely no help, and I think I was able to put something together about trying to impress someone or get their attention. Good on the kid for having the guts to ask. Sometimes I forget what fourth graders might or might not know. We all have to learn sometime!

Note: The word "flirt" was in a song I've taught them...which now that I say it sounds entirely inappropriate, but I assure you it is not. It didn't come out of nowhere.
