On Sundays, I help out with Hillsong Kids, it's the kids' equivalent of church. The age group I'm involved with is 4-6 years, which is a little younger than the kids I'm accustomed to dealing with. But, they're not any less smarter with their mouths.
A random bit of floating conversation led to some of the kids talking about tea. I wonder if they ever tried all these flavours, but it started with, "I drink peppermint tea," echoed by, "Green tea's better," and "I just like normal tea with milk."
Suddenly, the (usually reserved) Korean kid jumped in, "I like boo tea." Not sure if there was such a thing as 'blue tea,' we gave him a quizzical look. He then sticks his butt out, "You know... bootay."
One of the other leaders looked at me. We were unsure of how to respond, so we burst out laughing, as the Korean kid continued to wiggle his derriere. Sacrilegious and unhealthy for sure, but hilarious.
The last time I recorded such a conversation was a lot milder:
Kids and Chocolate Milk - I
It's all good in humour, but we need to be mindful that children are easily influenced by sexual imagery in media. It distorts what they perceive as normal.
