Once upon a time, in a land far, far away
Edited on Mon Jul-10-06 01:58 PM by GirlinContempt
No one had ever heard of a certain kind of bird, or made a connection between animal names and body parts, and the denizens of this region lived in peaceful ignorance.
Then, a young person whos tutor did not allow ribald chatter made the connection while deep in natural history study. The young citizen dutifully passed this humour and wit on to his fellow students, all chortling and snickering, gleeful in their avoidance of their masters ire while still being naughty in the manner of adolescents the world over. And it was funny. And they laughed.

But that was a long, long, LONG time ago.

1. You forgot the part where they laughed, and pointed, too.
Because it's only funny if you point at someone or something.

2. UPJr as a child said something using correct proper terminology
"penis" which brought all his friends to a sudden halt. "my mom is a nurse and that is the word we use".

8. thinking of media (for work), organic biochemistry (for fun)
Edited on Mon Jul-10-06 02:29 PM by uppityperson
as a preschooler, he took a condom in for show and tell once (I was working planned parenthood at the time). Teacher had a sense of humor about it. He rarely got into giggles at body words, went through a bathroom humor time briefly. Interesting person he is. I survived his childhood and he's doing good.

Edited to add a picture of him

10. Alright, my turn...Once upon a time there was a princess.
Was she a beautiful princess?

No, she wasn't. I mean, she wasn't ugly or anything, average height, not fat, but she wasn't beautiful. Well, she had nice hair... but that was just about it. She was average looking.

Did she have a fairy godmother?

Sure, sure, she had a fairy godmother. And her fairy godmother said, "What pretty hair you have! If we give you a makeover, you'll be the most beautiful princess in all the land!" And the princess said, "But I don't want to be beautiful." "Just let me do your makeup," said her fairy godmother, "It'll be FUN! Oooh, and then, we can paint each others' fingernails!"

But the princess said, "No! Leave me alone!", put on her hightops, and ran off into the woods. Then she tripped, and fell, and found that a frog was right in front of her...in fact... her lips were touching it!

EWW! She kissed it! Oooh! Does it turn into a prince?

Well... the frog said, "You kissed me!" and the princess said, "Will you turn into a prince?" and the frog said, "No! I'm just a frog! But... in return, I will grant you one wish."
"Alright, I wish that my fairy godmother was reassigned to babysit some kid in Japan," she said, and so it was, and they all lived hapily ever after, especially some random Japanese kid who read a lot of fashion magazines, and was very happy to get a fairy godmother who she could buy nailpolish with.

The end.
