Humor

In our foster-adopt class last night, we discussed dealing with children who have been sexually abused.  One part of it was us having to split up with men on one side of the room and women on the other.  We had to get together in our gender groups and come up with as many words for the genitalia of the opposite sex as we could list in five minutes.  It was supposed to get us used to hearing those kinds of words because our foster kids could very well come in using words like these.  Then she made someone from each group read the lists out loud to the class.  Shannon had volunteered to be the reader before he knew what the task was going to be.  It was so adorable to see him squirm up there.  That was so not like him.  He is usually so comfortable and confident in every situation, but someone about saying those kinds of words in front of a group of relative strangers really got to him.  It was nice to find a bit of humor in what can be such a serious class...
