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!

When discussing feminine hygiene products, a male student called out, "I'm allergic to pads, don't put one near my desk!"

I am often very impressed by the way my teaching partner answers questions. Today the question was, "Why do girls moan when they are having sex?" I'm not sure how I would have answered, but she simply replied, "It's kind of the same thing as getting a back massage, you just can't help but moan when it hits the right spot."

Today a student wrote the following question on a sticky note for us:
       "If a woman wants to have sex with every guy..."
Ok, let's just stop there. Anyone want to predict what's going to come next? No, it's not about STD's, contagious diseases or anything like that, it's more on the lines of who's your daddy?
       "...but she has sex without condoms, would the sperms race to the egg and the first one there would be the guy that released that sperm would be the dad right?"

My new favorite misspelling. See if you can figure it out: Cickodumiow

I've been wanting to do a "Kids Say the Darnedest Things" type blog for awhile now, and couldn't resist any longer. This week, we started teaching sex ed to our group of 5th graders, and I have to say, their questions, comments, and outbursts are pee-in-your-pants hysterical. Although many of these posts won't be just from the family life curriculum, I hope you are still able to enjoy every remark as much as I have!

The first day of sex ed is always a bit wiggley, giggley, so yesterday when my teaching partner said the word "vagina" the students couldn't control themselves. She decided that in order to break the ice, she would challenge the class to say the word ten times fast, and well, let's just say we had one student who was eager to accept the challenge. "J" just started shouting BAGINA! BAGINA! BAGINA! Mrs. G and I could not control our laughter, along with the other students who just could not believe his outburst - and with the "V" word! (Or rather, the "B" word)

After telling the students that we would be using the correct terminology during class, one boy came up to me at the end of class and said, "So, Miss, the word...d....dick isn't right, you're supposed to say... p...p...penis?" Hahaha.

A few years ago, we had students write their questions on notecards. One of my favorite was the following:
If condoms are used to prevent pregnancy, how come they come in different colors, flavors, and sizes?

More to come...
