The Best of the Best

We completed our week in Belize City which included numerous meetings with everyone from the Ministry of Education to the University of Belize to the PanAmerican Health Organization and everything in between. We made some wonderful contacts and got some great advice for next year! We also spent some time volunteering at the Red Cross. We offered them our services and they came up with a great job for us! Cleaning out a dirty old supply closet!! Yay!

The room had been filled with boxes of all kinds and the floor was covered in two feet of random clothing that was donated for hurricane relief. So we reluctantly sorted through some of it knowing that it was a pretty futile job that we were really only doing to keep our contact open with the organization.

One of the best things we did this week was to reminisce about the best and the worst moments of the trip. We compiled this list (in no particular order) of our favourite questions and comments from teaching:

1) What is outercourse?
2) Anne: "Where does the baby grow inside a woman?"
Class: "The uterary! The pancreas!! The UTENSIL!!!"
3) Do boys ejaculate once a month?
4) Why can't you eat the eggs from menstruation?
5) Anne: "What's it called when the penis stands up?"
Boy: "An egyptian!"
6) Anything starting with "Miss, I saw on Discovery Channel...."
7) If you cut off the penis will it grow back?
8) How many vaginas does a girl have?
9) If you get herpes will your penis fall off?
10) Why do boys get lazy when they go through puberty?
11) Kyle: "Where will new hair grow during puberty?"
Girl: "Guatemala!"
12) If you miss your period and you eat lots of really sour things will it make your period come sooner?
13) Can the peanut get stuck?
14) I think sex is like eating ice cream, please read this out loud.
15) If I wash my breasts will they get smaller and smaller?

And our personal favourite...

16) What is a nipple condom?

We are heading off to Guatemala to see Tikal and Flores this weekend! Hopefully I can remember my spanish....
