Mom, mom where are you? Right here what's happened? I always think the worst went they fly through the door yelling for me. "We had a class on sex today", they said, both boys had smirky grins on their faces. Oh really did you learn anything? "Yes, yes we did", said Joey looking particularly knowledgeable, "I know what the inside of a penis looks likes and it's gross and they said we should call it a penis and not something like, MY JUNK, because if you go to the doctor and say hey I'm having some issues with MY JUNK they won't know what you're talking about". Said, I might add all in one breath. "Interesting ", was all I could say. "And', he said, '"Now I know why my balls stick up". Really was all I could say without bursting into laughter. So your balls stick up do they, that sounds like a medical issue to me Joey! "No wait, not my balls my penis". Oh that good to hear because I was going to take you to the doctor. "It stick up because we get excited". OK was my reply, that's good to know. After that the sex talk dwindles down and homework began.The next day after my regular morning ritual of waking the kids up room by room Joey come to his bedroom door looking quite perplexed and in a very monotone voice said, "I can't believe I'm excited about school today". Well that's a good thing I said. "Well my head says I'm not but my penis says I am", he said while shaking his head in disbelief. I wonder if that's the kind of excitement the sex ed teacher meant?
