Conversations from Room 34

Today marks the day that I officially got asked "the question" from one of my students. If you don't know what "the question" is, read below:

Me: And here is a picture of a hen and an egg. (Showing a book to the class)
Student: Where do eggs come from?
Me: Well, they come from the hen.
Student: Okay...how do they come out? It's butt? (This is where I smirked...I know, I am bad at being the stoic teacher)
Me: Hmm....kind of. (said hesitantly, choosing words carefully)
Student: Do people have eggs?
Me: No, people have babies.
Student: Babies get cut out of the tummy to come out.
Me: Not all babies are cut out. (This is probably a poor choice)
Student: Then how does the baby come out? (This is the point I got a little red...)
Me: Well--why don't you ask your mom about that?
Student: It's the butt isn't it? I knew it.
Me: No....That's really something to talk about at home--just ask your mom and she'll be happy to explain it.
Student: Fine. Then how do you get a baby inside?
Me: Okay! We are moving on in the lesson folks.

Just a daily snippet of what we talk about in my class. Stay tuned for more interesting conversations.
