Slutty, the class pet turtle
We are making a giant turtle today in class and I asked the kids what they wanted to name it. We got the usual 'Rodger, Mavis, Abraham' and then one of the child said something that sounded like 'goodangi'. It was clearly an aboriginal word and I thought it was a great idea for the name for the turtle. When i said 'brilliant, sounds good', the assistant teacher gave me a concerned look. She asked me if i knew the meaning of the word. I said I didnt. She whispered to me that it means 'slut'. The kids unanomously decided to call our class turtle 'slut'. So of course I had to veto the name. He is now called Rodger.
