There's just something about the way he said it.......


I just sat through a presentation to my 6th grade boys on "growing up". Let me paint you a picture of the video's setting:
  • Beginning: Loud 80's rock 'n roll with a guitarist flying across the stage
  • Next, the rocker himelf, appeared on camera in his vintage studio, holding a semi-hollow body, dual humbucker, Fender Telecaster guitar. He had big hair and was wearing a black leather vest. On TV monitors in the background video clips of the rocker in his glory days played at 1.5 times normal speed.
The rocker then proceeded to drop words like: puberty, rhythym, ova, and my personal favorite, testes. There is just something about an 80's rocker-turned health advocate saying the word testes. It was all I could do to keep my 6th grade snicker held in. After all, I'm supposed to be a role model.

Having a rock star talk about puberty sounds like the worst idea ever.

snicker, snicker. that reminds me, just this morning i was talking to a guy in my congregation who i know struggles with post-vascectomy testicular pain (say that three times fast) and i wanted to ask him how he was doing, but couldn't for the life of me come up with a way of asking that didn't sound crude. any thoughts? benjamin? maybe matt could poll his sixth grade class.

why can't there be some foundation that makes a new sex ed movie every year, so they have a chance at not being so horrible? brilliant benjamin, by the way.
