Started sex ed in 5th grade and that year's class comes with a silly little story about four immature friends doing our best not to get kicked out.

Sex ed that year had the two genders separated so there was no one but boys in my class. Since we got to sit wherever we wanted, I went to a table with three of my friends. One of these friends will be called K for this story. He's going to be important. Also, one of the two teachers in the class was named Mr. N. Mr. N was known for having an extremely short temper and let all of the guys know if he catches or hears any of us laughing, we're getting thrown out of the class immediately.

Lights go off and the sex ed tape begins playing. The video was mainly about keeping good hygiene and explaining certain body changes some of us were going through at the time. Nothing out of the ordinary but the narrator had this really monotone yet proper voice to him that, mixed with the subject matter, made the four of us at the table want to laugh. It didn't help that we would occasionally whisper stupid little jokes about what we were watching from time to time (I think one of us made a Clear Eyes joke about the narrator) to try to get each other to laugh even more. Every time one of us felt like we were going to be too loud, we would bury out faces in our arms or in our backpacks so we didn't get kicked out.

And then, suddenly out of nowhere, a diagram of man parts fades into the video as that monotone narrator starts his sentence with "The p****..." and that's all it took. K bursts out in a loud fit of laughter that I'm sure even the girls in the next room could hear. Mr. N, face red with anger, grabs K and escorts him out of the room with the latter saying stuff like "Aw come on, man!" on his way out. After he got kicked out, the rest of the video played without any more incidents though the remaining three of us still had to fight our own laughing to avoid being thrown out with K.

I continued taking sex ed every year in middle school and I believe I had it once in 9th grade as well but that was it. By 6th grade, I was a little more mature and didn't really find stuff like that funny anymore. Well... either that or learning through printed out paper meant there wasn't a monotone voice to make me laugh. Yeah it's probably that second one.
