Today my class covered the genitalia labeling exercise in health class. It’s also getting close to a full moon, so hilarity ensued. The class came up with some interesting questions about pregnancy (which we don’t cover till grade 6), but they were awesome so I’ll share a couple. “Miss, if the baby grows in your uterus, does that mean when a pregnant lady goes swimming underwater, she’s technically a human submarine?” And “Miss, almost everybody kicks and punches while inside the womb, right?” I answered, “Yes, you all probably did. I think it’s safe to say that most babies do.” Then the child replies, “So that means we’ve all kicked a pregnant lady.”

I love my class. Report cards now.
