... and since you weren't I will tell you here/now.

i teach sex ed to 8th grade girls at an all girl public school. they say some pretty amazing things and some not so amazing, but i can't seem to keep it to myself.

a couple of definitions/explanations of things as we go along...

Girl Talk: one-on-one or small group Q&A/discussion time. they can ask anything, discuss anything sex ed related.

A sex educator’s job never ceases: this is me proving a point to our cocky (no pun intended) waiter at a restaurant last night. He swore NYC condoms broke easily. 
My response?
If you’re having sex with anything bigger than my hand using NYC condoms, please use lots of lube.

Students were asked: What are at least five things you’re passionate about? 

Answer? Oh you know, Susie (her phone) and Netflix.

Miss Wazina, you don’t look like a lesbian anymore.

Student in reference to my new longer extensions.

Don’t know how I feel about that.

This really happened.

Today I told one of my classes: “in a couple of weeks you will be tested on HIV and female & male anatomy.”

A student sort of nervously announced to the class and to me 

(wait for it): “I was just tested.”

Me: “I meant an exam with a grade.”

No lie.
