I had this conversation with The Boy a couple of days ago:
The Boy: We watched a film about sthexth today at school.
Me: What’s that?
TB: Sex.
M: Ah. Why do you say it like that?
TB: I don’t know. I just don’t like saying it.
M: Fair enough. So did you learn anything.
TB: Oh yeah; I learned a lot. But at the beginning, they asked who could tell the difference between boys and girls. Everyone raised their hands, and I was one of the people picked…
M: Oh no.
TB: Yeah, so they brought us up to the front, and showed us pictures. We were supposed to decide if the people in the pictures were girls or boys…
M: I’m going to have to write a letter, aren’t I?
TB: But the pictures were all noses.
M: Wait… noses?
TB: Yep. I just had to guess.
M: So, are you sure they were noses?
TB: Yes Dad, they were definitely noses.
M: Awesome.
In honor of the occasion, I’m going to dust off an awesome, old-school thsexth film.
Check out the nose on her!

Let me see if I’ve got this straight –
Every four weeks, for three or four days, blood comes out of a woman’s body from between her legs? Blood? Not ketchup? Because Susie (who it seems may have flushed a pad down the toilet, costing her family thousands in septic repair)(at least according to the accusing tone that seems to dance around Father’s query to Jill about what she should do with her used pad) appears to be bleeding a Heinz factory from between her legs.
This was awesome in a totally “I absolutely watched all of both clips” kind of way!
I love how the dad gives the same canned answer as everyone else, as opposed to, “ohfercrhissake, ask your mother.”
