On condoms, chickens and fighting with girls...

Another day with the 8th grade...

I came in at the wrong time on this conversation during the girls' class:
"Lifestyles make you get pregnant."

Let's be honest. I could barely tell you what a condom was when I was in 8th grade, let alone name different brands...


The 8th grade boys were in rare form on Friday. I came into class to find HT Girl in an argument with Easter Island Boy. I finally got her to leave and go to her own class, and the rest of the boys started giving advice to EI Boy.
"You can't fight girls."
"They travel in packs!"
"It's like Nicaragua trying to fight America!"
"Unless she has a really big sister who can swallow you whole..."


This was closely followed by an unrelated conversation at which point "I Didn't Kiss Her!" Boy from this past summer was confused about the difference between a turkey, chicken and rooster. I had to explain that hens and roosters were chickens and turkeys were turkeys. His reply:
"Okay, but isn't there a special breed of chickens that lays eggs without...you know...fornicating..."

HAH!
