We were learning about the bones. I was in front of the class saying things like "put your phalanges on your clavicles and move your mandibles!," when Rico (real name not Rico, but he thinks he's reaaaal suave) said, glimmer in his eye...
"Miss J! Does a boy's private part have a bone in it?"
Oh hell.
"Nope!" I said and kept going. "Knock your patellas together! Roll your scapulas! Put your carpals on your cranium!"
"But, I saw in this movie, that this girl BROKE..."
"Go home and talk to your parents about it! Now bend your patellas to your sternum and place your metacarpals on your mandible!"
"But why else would they call it a bone--"
"What-two-bones-make-up-your-skull?" I interrupted.
"MANDIBLE AND CRANIUM," screamed the class.
Rico was quiet. Crisis averted.
