The time just flies and Jared is on his way to Robert Crown. For those of you who don't know, in the local school Robert Crown is where the 5th graders go and get separated into boys and girls classes and learn about their bodies and then in 6th grade they learn about reproduction. SO Jared gets the treat my kids look forward to every time they have a fieldtrip.... the all important lunchable. Who wouldnt want to eat some fake lunch meat and stale crackers and the smallest pack of jello in the world all after its sat in the warm bus for a few hours?? But its a treat for my kids so off we go to get his lunchable. We are in the car together and he's telling me they got "the talk" about Robert Crown. I have never heard of "the talk" even though i have had 3 kids live through this trip before. So he proceeds to tell me the talk is when the teachers tell them all the words they can't use at Robert Crown. What on earth possessed me to ask "like what?" i have no idea but it opened the flood gates to every euphamism i have heard for penis and testicles ans some new ones too. Balls, sacks, the d word and the c word(jared wisely didnt want to say those in front of him mom)...those i have all heard of ....willy with a hat??the wiggler??never heard those.... So I am wondering which teacher is put in charge of keeping up to date on this list?? Is it alphabetized for easy reading? So when the teachers hear a kid use a new term they pull out the list....wiggler..w...w...nope no wiggler on here lets get that in here right before willy. Then Jared tells me that they bring out a giant plastic penis and they get to touch it...umm is this a class or some soft porn???I told him i didnt think that happened and said "phew i didnt really want to touch a penis anyway" I think i am relieved to hear that from my 11 year old son.
I do want to give credit to Kait for being a concerned sister also. When she learned that Jared was going she was very concerned. She told him he should stay home the day of the field trip. He kinda laughed that nervous laugh kids get and asked why. Being the very serious, drama free child that she is, Kait responded to him....."they show you pictures jared...those pictures burn themselves into your brain and stay there forever....and when you least suspect it one of those pictures will just pop into your head!!!dont do it jared just stay home!!!! I guess I should also say that was the year Kait figured out that you get your period every month and decided that it was highly unfair!!
Yes people ...these are conversations that happen in my house
