We actually had the kids write down anonymous questions and we spent a long time answering those. Sometimes you can't anticipate what they need to know!

I wish we had enough time to do that! As it was, we taught all about male and female parts and sex in one day, and spent the other day talking about consent, harassment, and exploitation.

Exactly!

We separated by girls and boys but we taught them the exact same material. So everyone learned about male and female bits and periods, hooray!

I teach in a Chicago public school and we got to teach sex ed this year!! For 3rd graders, it was human reproduction and puberty and for 4th-5th it was human reproduction, basic sex ed, and exploitation/sexual harassment. It was wonderful but I don't think we had enough time.

I misread so many things and was so disappointed :C

1. Miley Cyrus had to cancel her tour because she was upset by an entire city's worth of 16 year olds in two little buns.

2. Khloe Kardashian is dating French Stewart.

I am flying for the first time in ages next weekend so thank you for the tips!! Are airport bars super overpriced or reasonable? As for $69 tickets—Southwest just had a big sale that ended today! They had some flights as cheap as $69, but most were more expensive.

Whoops replied to the wrong person!

I love how bored the interviewer sounds!

I went prom dress shopping with my mom and when she picked out The Dress (she has an eye!) she hid the size and price from me because she didn't want me to dismiss it before I'd even tried it on. She was right—it was the perfect dress and I was horrified by the sizing and price.

Fools!

So what do you think she did when she had the first set of twins (Jana and John-David)? 60 days?

I never realized Madeleine was pronounced differently! Thanks for sharing!

It was a guy and we're not supposed to feel sorry for him because he was busy texting and wearing sunglasses when he got the puppy.

You've gotten so many replies to this comment that I hate to pile on that but...how are you ALWAYS the voice of reason on every article? You're this mythical logical, reasonable, sensible man every single time.

Mary Roach actually covers this in her book Packing for Mars (Ch. 10 "Houston, We Have a Fungus: Space Hygiene and the Men Who Stopped Bathing for Science").

Basically, your "perception of personal dirtiness" comes from the feeling of built up grease, sweat, and shed skin. Your clothes are absorbing most of this, which…

I had to scroll down really far to find someone to agree with!

I teach fifth grade in Chicago and even at 10 they've already learned racism.

In college sometimes I would only shave the top part of my leg that wasn't covered by boots or only paint the two toes that peek out of the peep-toe wedges.

How appropriate! I just for my first bikini wax last night! :DDD
