The Beauty of Pollination

That was beautiful, thank you!

Completely unrelated, but it reminds me of when I was teaching a kids with learning or emotional disabilities in central Utah, and I had to teach a couple of 14-year olds about zygotes and stuff in prep for the science portions of the state exams.  (Given the religious/cultural backgrounds of their families, they knew all about sex, but not how that related to how babies were made.)

So I walked them through the part of the textbook about pollination and such, and the very intelligent, wonderful boy boggles me and says, "Flowers f**k?  Omigod, really?  Flowers F***K?!"

How he & his friends helped me get out of the trouble his outburst caused me is a different story. ;)
