So this funny thing happened...

Today, 

I laughed so hard 

I cried 

and black tears 

fell down my cheeks

 Today we started our human sexuality unit at school...

Should I say more?

Well each time we do this unit 

I start with the basics

The name of parts

their functions

where the parts are

whether they are male or female

the PROPER name of parts

the slang names of parts

etc...

Needless to say 

this is my favorite unit

I love watching kids 

squirm in their seats

makes every other day of the year 

 TOTALLY worth it

So today went a little bit like this....

Me: "The clitoris sits between the labia"

Across the room I see a hand shoot into the air this boy asked the following questions.... 

I will not name his name

 

Boy: "Mrs. Whipple, don't some people name their babies that? Clitoris? or something like that?"

Me: "uhhhh"

Boy: "No I could have sworn that I heard of someone who named their kid that...Clitoris"

Me: "Well...I'm not sure"

Boy: "Yeah, it's something like that clitoris or like fetus or something?"

Me: "Do you mean that they name their kid Cletus?"

Boy: "Ohhh yea thats the name Cletus"

I cried right then and there.
