The Birds and the Bees

When Johnny went to school he asked his teacher, Mrs. Appleseed, where did babies come from. In the most didactic and informing way she could, she tried to tell him of this age-old occurrence. She knew that for a young person to understand this, she would have to be cogent. He's a young kid, 8 years old. How could she really explain to a little boy about this? She knew that if she wasn't tactful in her explanation, then Johnny would go home and tell his parents what his teacher said. If she did this wrong, his parents would surely have the assertion that the teachers from this school are up to no good. So in order to exculpate herself, she knew she'd have to deny answering any of his questions. She knew she had to lucidly explain it too because Johnny is only 10 years old. Johnny was so curious about this, but he was so nervous about asking his own parents. Although he was young, he knew how tense his parents became about certain subjects. He knew if he asked Mrs. Appleseed in the wrong way, she wouldn't answer his questions and she would put him in detention for being nasty. The correct rhetoric was necessary in order to get his point across. Mrs. Appleseed finally told him, "Umm Johnny, I think that this is something you should discuss with your parents, not me". "Well Mrs. Appleseed, maybe you should be an arbiter between my parents and I. They just won't talk to me about anything! I have to come talk to you about it or I'll never know anything about life." But Mrs. Appleseed knew the rules. She had to treat each student with an impartial attitude and not allow them to persuade her any differently than her first mind.
