Well friends...
Abstinence training has come to 8th grade science. Let me just tell you, this could possibly be the best week of my life. Naturally, I was thrilled to hear that someone else would be teaching my class for an entire week while I catch up on my grading and fiction reading...little did I know that it would also be a comic gem. I forget how awkward 8th graders (well let's be real here...really the whole world) are about SEX (that's right...I said it....unlike my kids...who really struggle to say the word). A few quotes (keep in mind we are only on day 1 here...there are FOUR left).
Student: Uhh. Miss Kinney...is that guy coming to talk about the dirty stuff on Monday?
Me: You mean SEX!?
Student: Sheeeshhh!! You don't have to say it!!
Abstinence Sam (named has been changed for protective purposes): SO. Boys are more likely to have sex because they want to impress their friends or because they are just turned on.
Student: Um. What do you mean by turned on?
Abstinence Sam: You know...turned on.
Student: But what does that mean? (He is getting VERY VERY red)
Abstinence Sam: Ummm. Like aroused...he wants to have sex with a girl.
Student: Oh. OOOHHHH...
All I can say is...you know a class period is going to be good when some of the first words out of the instructor's mouth are oral and anal sex.

Some Things to Consider:
1. I have figured out how to make my students shut up. Just mention sex. They can't even look at each other when that word is said.
2. Today I successfully purchased an air filter for my car. I hate going in those places though..they always look at me like I have three heads...it's probably because I had no idea what I was even buying. But all in all...I thought I had a much better showing than the time they asked me to pop my hood and I didn't know how...
