Sue, as Director of Children's Ministries at Preston Hollow Presbyterian, last week finished the third and final week of sex education classes held Sunday afternoons for 2nd through 6th graders. The weekly units included body parts, where babies come from, puberty and safety. The teachers will build on the material covered in the previous week with informal discussion, review and reinforcement of previous topics.
Fifth Grader, Sophie, while trying to recall body parts from Unit 1 during Unit 3, was getting a bit mixed up over the distinction between testicles and scrotum. When the teacher began to define each part once again, Sophie interrupted the teacher with delight as her conceptual understanding clicked into place, just as her teacher was going over the definition of the scrotum; "Oh!" spouted Sophie, "You mean the 'nut sack'!"
Sue and the teacher bolted for the hallway where they could work at returning their faces to proper decorum. Yes they agreed, Sophie had been holding out on them, she had it figured out all along.
