Back again!

So excited to be back to teaching sex ed! Here are a few tid bits from today's lesson:

Hahahaha! This is one of my all time favorite comments. 😛 

This will be a fun one to explain...

More to come later this week!

Here's the latest from the 5th grade...

Sometimes, it's just the way the questions are written that make them so funny. Such as the following:

"So when you have sex when you're 40, the eggs get too old?"

"If 2 men have sex with a woman, can it make a child?"

"What happens when you suck a girls boobiez?"

Anytime you use the word, "like" in writing, it makes everything sound funnier: "What if you have twins and they are stuck together! Like head to head?"

Or, my personal favorite:
"If you suck a penis (spelled wenuis. Remember the PPP Penis story?), will a sperm still fly in your egg?" I had to emphasize the word "fly."

I was recently sharing one of my many stories with a group of friends and realized I had completely misunderstood one of the questions a student asked. Here is the sticky:

So when I first read the question, both my teaching partner and I immediately said, "uh, tampons shoudn't shock you. If they do, something isn't right and you need to see a doctor." And that was the end of that. Later, when I was sharing the story with friends, one of them said, "Wait, I think they are talking about toxic shock syndrome." Oops, that makes much more sense...

Although school has ended, I still have many stories to tell...

We have the students write most of their questions on notecards or stickies in order to keep their questions confidential. We were getting a bunch of questions using the word penis, however the students were spelling it with a w instead of a p, so we got things like "wenus", "winus", etc. For example, after discussing erections, we had these two questions, "If a guy needs to pee and his winus goes up, is that bad?" and "What if your winis is up every day, would it be scary if it wouldn't go down?" So after several of these misspellings, my teaching partner said the following, "Ok everyone Penis starts with the letter P, not a W or any other letter. Let's have everyone try it, let's all say, P... P... P... Penis"

I saw this online, and couldn't help but post... Love this kids drawing and interpretation!
