Kids say (well, read) the darndest things

My seventh graders are deep in the "human growth and development" (aka 'puberty') part of their Health course and today, they were doing some vocabulary worksheets that included the term 'pubic hair'.

Of course, several of them, being unfamiliar with that particular word (no, not the word hair) added a letter to make it recognizable.

The letter 'l' slipped in very nicely between the 'b' and 'i'. While making a nice, easy-to-read word, the meaning loses something...

"public hair"

Tomorrow - more body parts, and their functions (monthly that is...)

Wish me luck. (If you must chortle, please do so quietly)
