Student: "Mrs. E.? Can I ask you a question?" (student asks this quietly, and her tone of voice signals this is a sex question-in the middle of English class, because you know, sexual phrases need to be defined in English class. Where else would you grammatically analyze a sexual statement?!)
Mrs. E.: "Yes, of course." (secretly holding my breath, I don't mind sex questions, but school politics only allows me to answer certain things in a certain way)
Student: "What does 'hit it then ditch it?' mean?" (Yup. Knew it. Sex question)
Mrs. E.: "Well. It's not nice. So...how to best phrase this appropriately..."
Boy Student, sitting nearby, eavesdropping on our conversation (of course, I swear, you merely whisper have the word "sex" and boys can trigger your conversation miles away. Freaking ridiculous hormones): "It means have sex with a girl then ditch her and never see her again!" (May I emphasize at this point he answered the question for her loudly-so that the whole class could hear and now be involved in the conversation. So now, not only is the girl's face red, but I must re-direct the whole entire class back to short story writing.)
