Also they want out that's part of the problem. I've only let them out for an hour or so the last couple days when I could hover over them. . I had been letting them out right after work up until almost dark. They are not happy with the extra jail time either.

Still haven't caught the fox and I think it was a cat I heard the other night. The little neighbor girl from one of my good neighbors came over and asked if I had seen her cat. Said it had gone missing night before last.

I am afraid that's what I heard. Poor kitty.

That’s horrible.......

..that the teacher is reading it out of a book is both appalling and comical all at the same time.
Kids just do so much better when their teachers are very real about that kind of thing.

I’ve always read that your children are much less likely to be abused if they know the anatomical names of their genitals. So when I taught my middle son (was about 4 at the time) he said “Mom, did you say you had a pa-ginis?”

The teacher wasn't reading it out loud, she was having the KIDS read out loud! Girls reading about penises, and boys reading about menstruation. One kid couldn't handle it and actually left the room. She was trying to be very matter-of-fact about things, but.. 7th graders. Need I say more?

Charity was 3 when i brought home our first buck goat. Brandon was 6 1/2. She was looking at the goat from the back end and said " hey momma, this goat has a weird udder". Brandon calmly informered her that it was a boy and didnt have an udder and those were his "tec-sticles"...

I remember the 7th grade sex class... they divided us up... boys only and girls only... that was much better. And then you could ask embarrassing questions about the opposite sex.

That was 6th grade health last year. Divided them up, had "the talk" and whatever else they do at that time. This year it's science, and human biology is on the agenda right now. I would have probably had them just read the lesson to themselves and do the work pages, but I'm not the teacher.

Ah, ok... yeah i think id have had them do that too... its awkward enough at that age just knowing the boy/girl sitting next to you is reading the same thing, let alone having to read it aloud..
