Musings

The fifth grade is taking a sex education course in science that talks about changing bodies and how babies are created. I had a conversation with a fifth grader at lunch yesterday that went as follows:

5th grader: Hey, do you know what we're learning about (chuckles)
Me: Yes, I know what you're learning about.
5th grader: Oh yeah? What are we learning about?
Me: Just go sit down. It's not necessary to discuss right now.
5th grader: It's something that we can't talk to little kids about.
Me: Yes, I know. Go sit.
5th grader: It's ancient Greece!
Me: Exactly. Little kids can't handle the truth about ancient Greece.
5th grader: Do you know about our special science unit?
Me: Yes, I know about your special science unit.
5th grader: BAM CHICKA WAH WAH!
