Sharing - 9th Graders' Anonymous Sex Ed Questions

~ Posted on Thursday, May 21, 2015 at 5:41 AM ~

A few years ago, I wrote a post about "Willy and Down Part OR Penis and Vagina?" where I touched on the importance of teaching our children the correct and right naming for their body parts (better still, to talk and teach them yourself rather than leaving this task for others to do). Some commentators were saying that my then 4 years old boy is too young to be knowing this and being taught about this. To be honest, I was shocked to read comments like these... thank God for the many commentators who supported and agreed on this approach.

Now fast forward 2 years on from that post, I just want to share an article that I came across with. It was shared by a teacher who asked her/his 9th grade students to anonymously submit sex questions. The teacher shared some of the questions posed throughout 3 years.

For your convenience, I have copied some of the excerpts from the article here:

I think it is good for the teacher to do this to test the knowledge level of her/his students. Doing this anonymously will remove the shyness in some students in approaching topics like this and yet still allow the teacher and/or parents to be aware and do something proactive in educating their students/children about it.

On another hand, it's quite worrisome to read some of the questions raised, maybe it's just me but there are some questions which I myself after reading it, am still wondering what it meant and how do they know such things? Well, it just goes to show that children no matter what age they are of, can easily come across information like this and it is only right that we as the parents especially, to be concerned and make sure our children is getting the correct information and knowing the right and wrong choices to make.


Do share your thoughts on this!

Red Beans With Eggs

~ Posted on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 at 6:39 AM ~

For this post, I am sharing my next food recipe, Red Beans With Eggs (in Cantonese, we called this 'Yin Dao Dan'). I remembered during my younger years, my late mum used to cook this dish for us often. I would pretty much try to skip the beans and whacked all the eggs if possible hahahaha. But now that I'm married and have kiddos, this is my lazy last minute need-to-cook-something-without-meat-dish for the family hahahah... Without further ado, here is the recipe for Red Beans With Eggs:


Ingredients:
* A can of red beans
 * Eggs (quantity up to you, I usually use 2 medium sized eggs)
 * Water (about 2-3 tbsp) 
* Sugar (about 1tbsp)
 
* Tomato sauce (about 1tbsp)
* Oil - for frying the eggs (quantity up to you but for 2 eggs, I use about 1tbsp of oil)

Methods: 
 
* Heat up oil in pan. Meanwhile mix water, sugar and tomato sauce together in a small bowl.
* Fry the eggs until almost set, scrambled it up.
* Pour beans out of can into pan.
* Pour the water, sugar and tomato sauce mix into pan.
* Continue frying for about 2-3 minutes
* Ready to serve

 

Outcome:

Red Beans With Eggs

My eldest sis-in law loves our 2nd kiddo. She calls her princess Alyson. The other day my SIL Whatsapp-ed me this joke and assured us that it is perfectly fine for her little princess Alyson to stay princessy for a little while longer LOL

 

So I sent her this funny picture below, along with a few shots of our princess girl in various face gestures and sloppiness LOL

But she is still undeterred and vowed to forever be clapping her hands for our princess girl LOL, so I sent her this joke as well...

And of course, must not forget actual shots of our princess girl LOL

 

Hahahaha... glad to be able to entertain my SIL hahahaha...
