How do you spell organism??


This came to me today from my good friend in Arizona...



On planning out our ecosystem (terrarium gardens), a child said,

"Ms. W., Can we have more than one orgasm in the garden?"




Do you think she kept a straight face???



I wonder.

  1. Well, if it was my garden the answer would obviously be yes. Your garden, however, would be a different and not quite as... bountiful.

  12. As a 6th grade teacher who teaches science, I can tell you that this organism/orgasm "snafu" pops up just about every year - some years more than once. It is hard to keep a straight face, especially when I have a co-teacher in the room. Some of the kids start giggling and others have no clue at all what is so funny.

  13. Absolutely, you can have as many as you can muster up!

  16. *Raises Hand* to vote for voting "yes" to multiple orgasms in the garden. Now the question is... in the carrot row or near the celery stalks??

  18. I have a history with that word.

    I asked my parents what it meant when I was 7 or 8 years old. By my mother's reaction, I knew it was bad.

    Luckily, I was a good speller. The dictionary and I became friends that day.

  20. I have a former colleague, who won't use the term "climax" when she's teaching the story arc. It makes her blush too much!

  21. Awesome... I get some VERY interesting spellings in Kindergarten too... 'My Hos' - love that one.

  22. When you are young yes. When your garden is a little older...not so much.

  23. That's why I love teaching... the little rascals always come up with something amusing. (Unbeknownst to them.)

  24. depends on whether the neighbors call the cops. because i hate it when they do that. but worse is when they call animal control.

  25. It depends on how ripe the cucumbers are.

  26. is this the same little one who informed you the first part of digestion is masturbation?

  27. Hey, those petunias aren't going to plant themselves...

  28. If I'd only known I was going to be a blogger when I grew up I would have kept a journal of all the little conversational jewels my 6 kids have given to me.

  29. Not known for keeping a straight face--I would have been bawling!! And class would be over for the day!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I knew there was more than planting going on in the garden...why else would someone make it a hobby, and join gardening clubs??? Hmmmm

  31. "Mary, Mary
    Quite contrary
    How does your garden grow?"


    I'm thinking about getting a bit more eco friendly now.

  32. - Depends on if you're a HOE or not.

    - Play it safe. Make sure there's a RUBBER tree.

    - That's package says, "rhubarb" not "rub-hard".

  33. Why do you think I love gardening so much??

  34. I am sure that my orgasms have left quite a few organisms around... :oD

  35. Sure we have them in our garden. Right up in the corner by the ivy wall. Right behind the cabbages ...

  36. That reminds me of 8th grade biology. We all had petri dishes of organisms that looks like microscopic worms. A boy in my class came over to me as I was checking my organisms out under the microscope and asked "How are your orgasms?" To this day I am not sure if he misspoke or was being a smart ass.

  37. Lol. I was laughing after reading your post but now after reading these comments I'm dying. Poor woman.... I'm not sure how I would've responded - I'm not too quick witted.

  38. My garden is much more boutiful than Captain Dumbass' so I would say YES! but I don't want to brag and make the poor man sad.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Well, that makes me want to try and find out!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Ah yes, you can but you don't have to be greedy about it. And, remember there is a time for reaping.

    ReplyDelete
