Appropo Pre-Valentine's Day

Sixth grade "Hygiene" class. Even though they no longer segregated the class by gender before they dimmed the lights for that dreaded educational film, we did it ourselves. Noone wanted to be sitting next to a boy when they talked about...IT.

And when they described the menstrual cycle, with the uterus shedding its "rich lining" all I could think of was the nature shows where the deer shed the fur from their antlers in long peels of velvet.

Damn, was I ever surprised!
