You like to dress how?

Somehow today the topic of clothing came up with my second graders. We are doing a highly technical experiment about water evaporation that involves setting cups of water in the window and checking how much water evaporates every day. It is thrilling. Today we decided to write down what day we thought the water would be completely evaporated on. One little girl asked what the prize was if her day was right, and I said I didn't know so she suggested "nice clothes." A little boy in the class didn't like that response and said that "some boys don't like nice clothes." Ah, yes, the familiar face of gender norms. Anyway...after addressing that issue, another child pipes in with, "I like to wear n***** clothes!" I'm not quite sure what face I made...but I told him that we couldn't say that word and that he needed to use a different word: "Uhhh...I like hip-hop clothes?" Sure.
