Puberty

Yesterday on the way to football practice, I asked Jacob how school went. The conversation went like this:
Jake: Well, today we learned about puberty.
Mom: Really? What did you learn?
Jake: They put the boys in one room and the girls in another.
Mom: Did you watch a movie?
Jake: There was a lot of stuff they talked about. Lots of girls have already started puberty and their large bones grow faster. When boys start, they get all embarrassed about talking to girls.
Mom: Did they talk about changes in your body?
Jake : Well, when you start to grow hair on your penis, then that is pretty much the sign that you are in puberty.
Mom: Did they talk about how sometimes the penis will act funny
Jake: Yea, like if you have a special kind of relationship with a girl, it can misbehave.


Again at dinner I asked Jake to tell the family what he had learned - since it had seemed he got most of the lesson - all he said was: "Well, when your penis starts to get hairy - that is pretty much a big sign!"
