Busy day of making the younguns happy

Pharyngula 2025-01-21

Think about how you can make young people happy: give them a puppy. I can’t afford to hand out puppies, but today is the day the students will come into my lab and I hand out fruit flies. Swarms of Drosophila! and I’ll tell them they have to feed them and take care of them and love them for the next three months. It will be a joyful afternoon for the student body.

I also have to explain sex to them, which I’m sure is going to be a total surprise to this group of 19-20 year olds.

It’s going to be an enlightening day, especially when all the men in the class look at their own elbows and realize they must be trans because they lack sex combs.
