Chicken Wing

So I'm there with the second graders like I usually am every friday except for the last two weeks because of spring break and teacher's workday and....I participated on a dictionary activity with the kids. Simple activity I just say a word and the kids used to guidelines at the top of the page to find the word. So they looked up words like, shark, puppy, marshmallow. Whatever random word I saw. Of course they turned it into a race, first the worst, second is the best, 3rd is the one with the hairy chest, 4th in just slow and 5 is just....not even worth mentioning. This was breaking the spirits of some of the kids in the group so I said last is the best and let's move on. One boy named...Bryan we'll say who wasn't even apart of the activity would shout out what page he thought the word was on. He didn't even have a dictionary he was just being smart. SO as the kids raced through the pages to find a word one kid suggested that they should search for "chicken wing". I don't know what's funny about the word chicken wing....I really don't but when he said I had to turn away and pretend I was looking at the time because I was cracking up. When I finally got the chance I said "Nobody look for chicken wing, that's not the word we're supposed to look for" for but it was too late, pages were already flying. Chicken wing was not in the dictionary, so the first smart aleck kid to find chicken said "see look I found it!...chicken...wing." He threw in the wing because...chicken wing wasn't in the dictionary. Thanks..Chris...thanks for finding the word I didn't ask you too look for. Now the next word is listen, because some of you don't listen.
