It’s another one of those wacky sex ed classes. I have a bunch of handouts to give the kids. There are two sheets of diagrams outlining the male and female sex organs, and another set of sheets with labelled cross-sections of same that the students are to cut out and glue over the appropriate sections of the diagram sheets. I’m provided with glue sticks and scissors, and the students are ready for some fun.
I start handing out diagram sheets. At first it’s random: some kids get the male diagram first, while others get the female diagram. But it becomes fairly obvious early on that most kids want to start with an opposite sex sheet. One girl enthusiastically yells out “I want a penis!” From then on the innuendos come thick and fast, and the class begins to sound like a Benny Hill skit.
The exercise goes quite well, if a bit messy – glue starts getting everywhere. The boys in particular seem intent on using as much of it as possible, and at the end of the class many of the glue sticks are empty. I wonder why?
