Awkward Side Effect to Breast Cancer Awareness Month...

Conversation I had with one of the first grade boys yesterday:

B: "Miss H. what's a breast?"
Me: *stares at this boy for a full minute that felt like forever* "Uhmmmm, where did you hear that buddy?
B: "On the radio they said it was breast wariness month."
Me: "Ohhh....Well.....*long pause, scan brain for politically correct answer* It's a part of the body. You should probably talk to Mommy more about that, ok?"

Fortunately he was satisfied with this answer. That being said, I was not expecting that question and upon further reflection I think I should have gone with a "chicken breast" explanation. However, in the moment, I did my best.

Yikes!
