And all of the idiotic things that are said.
I started crying with laughter yesterday in English class. We're learning about subcultures, cultural relativism, optimism, etc. and we got a worksheet to fill out. In a section where we identified a statement as either CR or ethnocentrism, there was one about genital mutilation. It talked a little about how some cultures see it as okay but others view it as barbaric.
A kid in the class, let's call him Bob, couldn't wrap his head around it.
He didn't know how it was done (the cultures remove the clitoral hood, so it's basically a bundle of nerves - in case you didn't know either). After receiving no response from the teacher, he went on to say, "Does it grow back?"
I started laughing. It gets better.
After that, he says, "It's kind of hard to have sex with a mutilated vagina." To top it off, I heard him mutter, "Do they put it back after marriage or what?" I was DYING of laughter. Not literally, figuratively, although with my coughing and inability to breathe you would think literally.
God, school is so interesting once in a while.
