My girl just had her ‘girl movie’ shown at school. 

Remember the big eyes and excitement and then the film was nothing new but you were embarassed to walk out and see the boys after?  And remember that little bag of ‘girl goodies’ they gave you with a mini deoderant, sample ‘panty sheild’ (to ‘sheild’ our ‘panties’ from the enemy)  I liked that little bag… 

So here are the two questions my little girl asks the nurse at our Christian school.  

QUESTION ONE: “So, when the vaginal discharge increases, does that mean a woman is closer to having her period?”  Christian school nurses love questions that have any form of the word ‘vagina’ in it.  My daughter received a very Christian, “Yes.” and was dismissed.  

Until the nurse explained that IF a girl has sex, she WILL get pregnant.  Now, I have chosen the more effective (hopefully)  ‘scare the shit out of her with pictures of genital herpes and genital warts’ approach to encourage delayed intercourse.  But I guess pregnancy could be scary, too. 

QUESTION TWO:  “But don’t they have pills and stuff so you don’t have to get pregnant?” 

Nurse: ‘What?!  And next I suppose you’ll want to VOTE and not wear a BRA!!  Perhaps be paid a similar wage to that of a man with a similar job?!’

 That damned Bible Belt!!
