Why Skunks Stink

My preschoolers are in the middle of a camping theme.  I have a tent set up in the classroom and we have been talking about things we might see or do if we were camping.

I've covered one side of my easel with felt to make a felt board.  I trade out the things to stick to the felt depending on the theme or skills we are focusing on.  Velcro works well on felt boards just in case anyone needs to know.  Ha!

Since we are camping, I found a set of numbers that have a picture of a woodland animal on each number.  Today I was helping the kids put the numbers in order.  When we came to a number with a skunk on it, I held it up and asked the kids if they knew what the animal was.

***Warning...bad word in the following***

Kids:  It's a skunk!!
Me:  What do you know about skunks?
Preschooler:  They piss. (Seriously, the child was serious and didn't mean for there to be a shock factor which made it funnier)
Me:  (Trying not to fall out on the floor laughing) Wh..wh..huh...what did you say?
Preschooler:  No, I mean they fart.
Me: Hahahahahahahaha!
