the kid used a real paper dictionary?  Hell, give him a prize! Because if he typed it into his home computer. . .the results would have been very different.  In that case, does social services come and take the child away from the terrible parents?

kinda messed up.

Should have used that giant dictionary to look up the difference between "words" and "worlds".

Oh Darwin, you've let us down again.

Just... um....  dictionarys are inate tools one utilises to decipher and understand a language... I'm sure the book instigated this though.... "back in my day", if the teacher caught your book turned to the wrong page, you'd get sent to the principle.  The first time they'd call in your parents and the learning disabiltiies resource rep... which was an elaborate legal means of pointing out your kid got caught being lazy or undisciplined in class, or discover/diagnose your mental diesease....  The next you'd end up on trash clean-up or study in the library after school....  in either outcome, nobody I knew ever won the idiot lottery.

I wish I could say what I really openly want to about this, but I'd get Skuzzed in a second... too bad for the parents in this case, they were so close to succeeding.  :devil

thats jr high

As of ~20-years ago, where I went to school, once a year boys (and girls not given the consent) would go have an extra long PE session, and the girls go to the auditorium to start getting their "it's a wonderful changing world" pamphlets and training bras in 4/5th grade.

The co-ed auditorium/movie versions start in junior, and the classroom and book series in high school (and I think everyone had to take those classes in their first two years too).

Why does "oral sex" have to be in a dictionary?
