Nothing makes you feel smarter than working with kids. I mean, it's awful that part of the joy in my life comes from using children to boost my own ego, but it's the truth. Especially since my knowledge of sex ed came from a children's book my mom handed to me when I was 7 that said babies come after mommy and daddy "do a special cuddle in bed." Talk about confusing, right?
So you can imagine my joy at hearing other kids' takes on baby making. Especially now that, 20 years later, I can proudly say that I know what "cuddle" reallllly means.
I was trying to review a math problem today with my kids that had to do with averages... the problem said, "If a new student joined the class how many brothers and sisters would you expect him to have? Explain." I heard a few random answers then got this little gem: "I would expect the new student would have 3 brothers and sisters because their mom probably took 3 pills and then, poof, 3 babies!"
Someone's going to be traumatized when they get their first headache...
