One of my favorite assignments in Child Development is when I have the students do some creative writing using one of the 8 Alternative Conception Options we learn about (i.e. In-Vitro, ZIFT, Artificial Insemination, Surrogacy, etc).
Below is one of the best from today's class as written. As you read it, keep in mind that there is only one male in the class, and he had the honor of saying only the words in parentheses ... try to imagine that if you will.
**Be warned: it is not a happy ending, and it's a little crude. **
Sex with Jack and Jill
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of "water" (sperm)
They had a few hurdles because Jack was infertile
And he wanted to soon be a father.
Jack fell down and broke his "crown" (penis)
And Jill needed his sperm
But there was none to be found.
They needed a donor
Because of Jack's broken (boner)
And they wanted a baby around
And with an idea quite terrific,
They went to the clinic
And Jill got injected with semen
And with her hopes up,
She got knocked up
And found out the following weekend.
And with bruises and headaches,
A little heartache
(Because frankly, irony kills).
The saddest thing since they married
Jill had miscarried
Because Jill had once more fell down the hill.
