Sexual Health ; Thursday ; Third Period
Today's class was picking up where last week's had left off: the models of the reproductive system were back on Mindy's desk, correctly assembled this time.
Erica Everywoman the puppet was still around somewhere, but not on Mindy's hand. Maybe she'd make an appearance next week.
"Welcome to class, everyone," Mindy chirped. "Today, we're going to be learning all about how babies are made. As you've probably figured out by now, not all sexual intercourse is reproductive, and we'll be talking in later weeks about other kinds of sex, but for today we'll stick to the ways that compatible genitalia can produce a child. And we're going to do it with a story."
There was a PowerPoint. She switched the projector on.
After the traditional "Once upon a time," Mindy began by introducing "the main characters" involved. These were a group of individually named cartoon versions of the ova which all lived together "in the world's most chill sorority house, Delta Kappa Ova," and a group of sperm cells "who all rock out together in a cool punk band called Vas Def." Other characters were introduced as well, and there were in-depth explanations of the layouts of the groups' respective "apartments," which featured curious architectural marvels like "the fallopian room" where it became clear that Mindy could have worked harder on this extended metaphor.
After a series of comedic but ultimately irrelevant misadventures at parties and the like, eventually the main ovum and the main sperm cell got together ("it was a magical night; really mutually enjoyable," Mindy assured the class). They moved into a new part of town together, eventually producing a zygote, which then went through various stages of development until it was old enough to leave home "to go be on The Real World." Mindy beamed proudly after that reference, then checked with the class, "Did you get my joke there?"
After her story was over, Mindy smiled and asked if there were any questions. She was sure that the students had a lot to think about at this point, so she decided to avoid overloading them with more factual information, although she had some prepared. Instead, she said, "Now that they're living happily ever after, you guys get to illustrate! I have lots of markers and colored pencils up here, so just come grab some and you can spend the rest of the class period illustrating your favorite scene. Feel free to talk amongst yourselves!"
