What Comes First?….The Chicken or the Egg?
After the recent episode with our frisky 12yo son Max being caught ‘manhandling’ the girls at school with hugs, I am not sure that a sex education lesson two days later is appropriate!:-)
I am also reminded of the time back at Max’s old primary school when we attended a sex education night as a family. Max was very enthusiastic this night with the Q & A section and would shoot his hand up as high as he could almost begging to be asked to answer each question.
The educator was talking about the female reproductive system and asking people to point out different parts of the body.
She was pointing to the ovaries on a diagram and asked the question :
“Can someone tell me what is the name of the place where the egg comes from?”
Max thought he definitely knew the answer and shoots his hand up high, busting to tell everyone. His response was both embarrassing and priceless.
Max then yelled out his answer at the top of his voice:
“A CHICKEN”
( Tanya and I slouched in our seats, and rolled our eyes with embarrassment & humiliation)
The next question the educator asked was “Can anyone tell me how big they think the female egg is?”
Up goes Max’s hand again.
Max’s response:
“MEDIUM”
Let’s hope Max has listened in his recent sex ed lessons or I hate to think what he will be up to next.
