Today was day 2 of 3 for teaching sex ed to 9th graders. (Somehow, when I was a political science major in college, I never managed to foresee that I would one day be explaining ‘douching’ to a bunch of tittering tots in their teens.) Today I got to throw in an impromptu powerpoint presentation on alcohol for the class that was working on that unit, and in which I pointed out that any time they drank alcohol, they were drinking yeast pee.
Anyway, quotes of the past two days:
[Student J says something completely off the wall that makes no sense whatsoever]
Me: “I think my brain just exploded.”
J: “But your feet are still on!”
After a fairly boisterous class this morning, another student came up to the desk and said, “By the way, thank you for giving up your sanity for the improvement of young people.”
