so everyone will be surprised when her 13 year old daughter turns up pregnant because she didn't know how things worked.

on the playground. I thought, "Say What, you have to be kidding?" I never heard of anything so nasty in my life.

I can understand why the right would be all upset about the seahorses and their misplaced sexual identity. If the schools get away with that the next thing that they will teach is that the male seahorses cook and clean....

Next thing you know she'll be complaining about little videos showing amoebas dividing or kittens nursing.

And they're not Christians, either!

I hope nobody clues them in about bonobo colonies.

Nobody tell her that every tree in her neighborhood had sex for days and days.

Right out in front of God and everbody.

At least it's not that profane yoga.


If only all parents were as blasé about the matter as my earth science teacher was during a trip to the zoo when a couple of hippos decided the mood was right for a little loving.

As cool as a cucumber, without missing a beat, he said, "It's a natural phenomenon." In a complete dead pan which would shame Ben Stein.

He said the same thing after loud flatulence in class. That did leave us a little confused, but, most of us grew up with a healthy view of sex.
