Awesome parenting moment #2846:
Going to the 5th grade boys* "Maturation" program at school.

My favorite part?  Besides seeing really large hand drawn pictures depicting the Birds and the Bees type things projected on a screen?

The smell.

Do not underestimate the knee buckling odor that a room full of 5th grade boys can produce.

No seriously.  You can not imagine it.  Don't even try.

I would have gladly paid thousands of dollars for one of those handy white lace trimmed hankies that real ladies discreetly pull out of their purse to daintily cover their noses with.

I had to instead improvise with my whole hand over my nose.

Not nearly as dainty.

* Stick had a work conflict.  So, I guess, I was the logical alternate.  I guess.
