Learn Your Place

My usual crowd (my student aide, his friends, some miscellaneous bball kids) were horsing around in my room after school.  Kid2 is my student aide.
Kid1:  I'm a beaner!
Me:  Heeey, we don't use that word.
Kid2:  Yeah, Kid1, that word isn't for middle school.  We must wait until high school.

Penis is the Topic Today

We are talking about diseases in 6th-grade science.
Me:  Can anyone give me an example of a disease?
(I call on various kids... they name cancer, HIV, etc).
Kid:  Erectile dysfunction.
Me:  Uh, that's not really a disease... more of a disorder.
Kid:  Well, there's medicine for it on TV all the time, so it must be some kind of major problem.

Kid:  I'm going to play basketball this year.
Me:  Oh yeah?  Did you get your tryout packet turned in?
Kid:  No, I don't want to go get a sports physical.
Me:  Why not?  It's no big deal.
Kid:  Dude, they touch your man parts.
