Isn't it crazy that I have a class with my own stepson?

Oh, come on. You don't got to make it that weird.

Oh, I'm not making it weird. You know that I've hated my job for years.

I've talked about going to school and, you know, you registering and going gave

me the courage to do it too.

I mean, it is nice to have you in class, you know, but don't make it weird.

So get the knowledge you need to get it. I'm going to use your wise, very smart

intellectual brain.

And I'm going to make sure I get all eight.

Well, I'm glad that we get to do this together too because I'm not going to

it's been a long time since I've been in school. So I'm a little nervous with

all the studying.

You'll do great.

You're so sweet to me.

What do you think? Do you think we should probably get into the...

We're going to study in class and figure out what we're learning.

Yeah, let's do it.

Better together, isn't it?

Let's see. I mean, I guess we should just start off at the top.

It's a fun subject, the human body.

Yeah, that sounds like a great idea.

I'm thinking, you know what would be...

interesting. You know, humans start with reproduction, so why

don't we go to page 162, male reproduction.

Okay. Start off where the whole body starts.

Let's see.

So many pages. Oh my gosh.

Okay, now we're talking.

We've got

The male reproduction.

I mean, you couldn't have a body without that, right?

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Wow, so complex.

That's an interesting place to start.

Feminal vesicle.

That's a big word.

Learning about the sperm cells.

Fertilization race.

Oh my goodness, look at this.

All of them fighting for one thing.

I mean, we have the male reproduction here.

We can't forget about the female reproduction.

Luckily, our professor gave us some good tools that we can use.

So we've got, let's see, the external anatomy right here. Get

things nice and, you know, warmed up for stuff.

Here we go.

Fertilization and implantation.

Wow.

The whole process, it's very interesting.

You know, you never really think about the scientific part of this.

What do we have up here?

We gotta find the special part.

The opening.

Ooh, here we go. I'm sure you're familiar with this word, college boy,

clitoris.

I think this is going to be a lot more fun than I thought. You know, some of

these topics are very intriguing, don't you think?

I mean, yeah, they are.

I know a little bit about that, but, I mean, I don't know. It's an interesting

topic to talk about with my mom.

Well, I mean...

We've known each other for so long. You're comfortable with me, sweetie. I

who else better to be studying this stuff with? And I can be open with you

you know, share my experiences.

Like you said, use my wisdom from the years to help you with this class.

I think I could teach you a couple things.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Let's see what else.

So we've got the male reproduction and talked about the sperm.

Legs and feet. That's kind of fun, too, but getting a little bit more boring.

What type of topic do you think we should look at?

I mean,

I kind of want to talk more about the male and female reproduction.

I think that's a good idea. Good call.

You've always been so smart.

So, I mean, we've learned about the male and female reproduction part, but

there's so many different aspects that are important to it.

Let's see what else we can find that's related to it.

Mmm, water.

Everyone needs water. We don't need to learn about that.

Back to the hands.

Mmm, muscles. I like strong, hard muscles.

Don't tell your dad.

Let's see.

Back support.

We're getting there.

We're at the tongue.

Mouth and throat. See, that's where we need to look at next.

But you know what?

Do you mind if we switch things up a little bit? My back is hurting in this

chair. You know, it might just be more fun to kind of spread out and be nice

relaxed.

Yeah, that's totally uncomfortable.

Okay, well, make sure to grab your highlighter because, you know, this is

important stuff and we've got some big words that we need to learn.

Yes, Mom.

All right.

Let's see here.

See, isn't this so much more comfortable? I mean, and we get a good

everything.

Hmm.

Inside the oral cavity.

I think that's a good start.

Do you know what the oral cavity is? I think that's a great start.

Yeah. So the thing that's so amazing about the oral

cavity is that it can be so small, but gets so big.

Wow, that's wild.

There's all kinds of stuff.

I think we should highlight that.

Yeah, we definitely should highlight that. I feel like that's very important.

Definitely going to be on the cut.

Final exam.

Yeah, and we've got swallowing.

We wouldn't do much in life if we couldn't swallow.

Our mouth is such an important part of our body.

I mean, the mouth and throat are very important. I mean, they help deal

with, you know, what goes in our mouth and like food and digestion.

Keeps us alive and healthy.

I think it's really good to, like, stretch out your oral cavity, too, you

Keeps it healthy, lets you be able to eat a lot more meat, like, bigger

you know?

Yeah, I agree.

I can't forget about the

tongue. The tongue is very important, too.

Yeah, isn't it one of the strongest muscles in the body?

Yeah, I think that's what I read. It's always so surprising because it's small

but mighty.

Small but mighty. I like that. That's a good way to remember that.

Just think about me because, I mean, I'm kind of tiny, but I can be mighty good

at things.

That's smart.

That'll definitely help me remember. See, this is why I needed you to be in

school with me.

Perfect. partner.

You make a great team and then, you know, we'll both be walking across the

before we know it.

With the best GPA ever.

Mm -hmm.

Thank you so much for helping me.

Mm -hmm. And thank you for helping me. This is great bonding time. This is

to...

Weird? It's not weird at all.

Let's see.

We've got the windpipe.

Ooh, here we go. Saliva production.

Mm -hmm.

Our mouth just does so many different things for us.

We do have to produce a ton of saliva, though.

That's important.

Very, very important.

For many reasons.

Nice, strong throat with our tonsils to protect us from getting sick,

keeping us healthy, and our mouths filled.

This is a lot easier than I thought it was going to be.

Yeah, it's a lot more fun, too.

Yeah, I'm not feeling as intimidated as I was in the beginning.

Let's continue on.

Jaw muscles. The two muscles which attract the skull pinnacle are great

The jaw muscles that connect.

That does make a lot of sense.

I mean, because, you know, all the chewing and breathing and

everything else.

Yeah. The body's amazing.

It is. It is really amazing. It's remarkable.

I mean, if you look here, we've got the taste pathways and the tongue is covered

in taste buds.

Well, taste buds are definitely important because then you can figure

good for your body and what's not, what your body likes and what it doesn't.

I hear they change like every seven years, too.

That's what I heard, too.

You know what we should do?

Get the laptop out and do our note cards.

We should definitely do that. That's the best way to study for sure.

Yeah, that's definitely important.

Let's move up here.

Log in to the site.

Here we go.

I'm going to have to learn how to type faster because I mean, I

haven't been typing that much. You know, in my old job, I was just like

traveling around everywhere and it was just more, you know, socializing. I

didn't have to do all the paperwork.

It's probably going to take me forever to write my papers.

I might have to pick your brain, or maybe we can take, like, a typing class

together. What do you think?

I think that would be smart. We should definitely, I mean, I could definitely

help you with that.

Yeah, because, I mean, I know I'm not that old, but sometimes I'm a little

outdated.

But still, everything works just fine.

Let's see.

So, our topic for today.

was the male reproductive system what else do we have here female

reproductive system and we really did a lot of focus on the mouth

i think that's going to be key to everything you know maybe we should

start with the mouth first and then move on to the reproduction do you think

that's a good idea i mean Yeah, I think that's a good idea. I mean, that's the

last place we ended up on, so that's probably the best place to... Yeah,

start there, and then it'll just flow more easily, I think.

Let's see.

So we're going to start with the mouth and the throat and

taste buds.

Okay.

And then, do you think male reproduction first or female?

I don't know.

What would help you remember easier? I think the female probably.

Yeah, I think you're right. Let's see.

We learned a little bit about the clitoris and vaginal opening.

Let's see.

Okay.

That should do it on here.

Moving on to male reproduction.

Hmm,

I can't remember what was first.

Do you?

For male reproduction, I believe we talked about the sperm first.

We did. Oh, so we just went straight into it. Yeah, I think we started with

sperm, and I think that's what we started with, and then we went from

Hmm, let me see if I can look it back up. Maybe I highlighted something that

help us.

Oh, here we are. So let's see.

Yeah, we didn't really, we've got the prostate gland, erectile tissue.

We didn't talk about that.

I think that's very important because we can't move on further without that

happening.

We've got the penis, testes.

Hmm. Oh, yeah.

factory and we've got our little race here.

Let's see.

Yeah, I do have this from factory.

It says to join with an egg, phone cells must complete the 8 to 12 inch journey

from the vagina to the uterus.

12 inches. Wow, that's a lot bigger than I thought. I thought that was going to

be on the test.

Let's see.

The race gets tough.

So, I finished.

the race, and they're the tiniest human cell. I am just so impressed with how

strong and resilient sperm cells are.

Yeah, I never would have guessed that.

You know what?

I have another idea. It's getting kind of late, and you know, back

in the day, how we used to study is just lounge on the bed.

They say that you can remember things more when you're comfortable and then it

just sticks.

So you've got everything else, right? Because I'm going to grab the laptop and

my hands are going to be full.

Yeah, I'll carry everything.

Okay, perfect.

Well, I will meet you in the bedroom.

Sounds good.

You've got everything set up and ready to go.

nice and comfy to help us store all that knowledge in there.

So let's get started.

I'm excited for this.

This is great studying. This is doing really well. Yeah, this is so much more

comfortable. All right.

And we were on the note cards.

Yeah, we were creating note cards.

We were on, what was the last thing we touched off on?

I think we were still on male reproductive because we started with

female, and male.

Or did we not even get to female?

I don't think we got to female. Okay, so we need to end in female because, I

mean, that's the most important part.

The female body.

All right, let's see here.

had here we go because we really didn't even get into the textbook out there

like we mainly just looked at the poster the professor gave us yeah that's true

we didn't I don't think yeah I don't think we ever actually went to the

reproductive yeah so okay about the uterus

we touched upon the clitoris I mean I think that's important because

it's so sensitive

and things like that so sperm and eggs the head made up of genetic

material until that enables speedy swimming because remember only like a

percentage even make it in there so in there okay

and then we're into fertilization so we can continue

on

With that.

And that's definitely going to be on the test because, you know, they're going

to definitely quiz us on, you know, how a baby's born.

Yeah. So we definitely got to make sure we touch that topic. Yeah. So

fertilization, we have the implantation of the egg.

There we go.

What else?

Oh, yeah. And remember, it was 8 to 12 inches.

That the sperm has to travel to get up there.

Oh, yeah.

Eight, twelve inches. Because, I mean, that's a ruler. That's pretty long.

Yeah, the female body is just so amazing.

Okay, so we've got that.

Hmm. What else do you think we need to get for the female reproduction?

Um.

I mean, maybe touch on the ovaries.

Yeah, okay, so the ovaries.

Yeah, because it has to travel through the tubes and everything else.

All right.

You're right. There's so much anatomy to remember, but I think if we just take

our time with it and continue to have study sessions like this, we'll pass

flying colors.

I think so, too. I think we're...

I think we got this.

You're such a good teacher.

Oh, thank you.

It's wild because you're a student.

Let's see.

But remember, we're partners in this, so it's teamwork. It's both of us together

that's going to get that grade.

Right. Teamwork does make the dream work. I agree 100%, sweetie.

Let's see.

I think your dad would be really proud of us, too, for working together so

Yeah.

I feel like he would.

Yeah, because, you know, he hasn't been that supportive of me going back to

school. But I'll show him.

I'm pretty and smart.

Let's see.

All right.

I think what I'm going to do next is, like, maybe look up some videos and more

diagrams so that we can.

really see where everything is in place sounds like a really good idea all right

so we've got this here and we have the mouth we'll just start with that again

with the oral cavity and the strong

jaws and tongue with the taste buds kind of making me hungry

maybe we should have like a late night study snack

We should definitely do that. That would probably help us focus a little more.

Yeah, so we're not distracted.

Let's see.

Interesting.

Okay. And then we can move on to the malreproductive.

And then if you look at this diagram, it kind of goes through, like, the process

and all the changes that they go through.

become, you know, more fertile.

Oh yeah, here's some tips.

Okay, I think we've pretty much, you know, done all our note cards and looked

the diagram.

So why don't we just, you know, relax and take a load off and just get

Okay.

Come on, get your... all comfortable so maybe

we should focus more on the next uh

let's see flexible cartilage okay i

mean i guess it's good to be flexible and you know not everything needs to be

bone that's true i can agree with that

Wow, look at those legs.

I don't think he skipped leg day.

Ligaments and tendons.

It's crazy how many little things, you know, work together just to make us

That is really wild.

Body science.

This could be fun. We're kind of adding some history into our science lesson.

Let's see.

What should we start off with? It says in

1665, Hooke's Discoveries. We have an

English researcher.

Okay.

Okay, so Hook's discoveries.

Got a drawing of a flea. How does a flea have to do with anything?

Hmm, let's see.

Yeah, that's not very interesting.

Let's go into some medical milestones.

Okay.

It says 500 BC.

What is that? Small bearing marks of...

Trap nation?

Do you know what trap nation means? Oh my gosh. I have no idea what that means.

That's a little scary.

And then we've got canon of medicine. So I bet you that's like the early

years, like when they started using herbs and stuff a lot more than what we

nowadays.

Here we go.

It says 250 BC, the...

School of Anatomy was created.

So it started with the Greek doctors. They're the ones who got this going for

us.

Let's skip a little forward.

Get more updated.

We've got our DNA structure.

Oh, look at this.

Isn't that cool how it makes like a stairwell?

Oh, wow.

Yeah, I know. That's crazy.

And then...

In 1996, they cloned the first sheep.

That was so long ago. You'd think that they'd be cloning more things by now.

Hmm.

And then in 2016, they continued it on and did genetic editing.

What does that even mean?

It says that they were altering DNA.

That's a little...

Playing God, huh?

I say we kind of move on. We've kind of covered all of this.

And see the inside story.

Ooh, this is going into the brain. See, that's something that really interests

me. Just, you know, the psychology of everything.

Wow.

Can you believe this? I mean, look at the brain. Look how cool it is.

And that we have the technology to even see it.

Boring stuff.

But I mean, it is good to have a nice diet.

Yeah. I don't know if that would be on the exam, though.

Yeah. It might be, but I doubt it. Yeah.

Yeah, I think this is just kind of like basic stuff. Just to kind of... Ooh,

this is going into the future. So we're talking about...

More gene editing and bioprinting.

What's bioprinting? Do you remember him talking about that?

I don't remember the professor talking about it at all.

Okay.

Oh, it says it's for transplants when they're in short supply, so it looks

they can do that instead.

Amazing. And we've got robotics being introduced into everything.

It blows my mind.

Let's see. Simple research.

Bodies in space.

Did you know that your bones get weaker when you're in space?

Every month in microgravity is what it's called, that astronauts can lose up to

1 % of their bone density.

That's crazy considering how long they have to travel to different places.

Right.

I don't know. I'm just amazed at everything that humans can do, both

bodies and the technology.

It's incredible.

I mean, I learned so much more just from, like, his classes and, like, from

book that he gave us.

Yeah.

And, I mean, I think he's a really cool professor, too.

I like his approach to teaching, like, very hands -on.

That's really what I need at this age.

I mean, not only for you, for me, that just seems like it's a better way to

learn. I agree. And there's all kinds of different learning personalities.

But I think we're both, like, very hands -on.

You know what? We forgot.

What did we forget?

We forgot about breath.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, they're a huge part of it.

They definitely are.

So I think you can maybe just like help me out and we can do a real hands -on

approach to it.

Yes. Okay.

Why don't you come over here and help me with the spermicide?

Okay.

So what do you think about, you know, kind of ending with the breath? I mean,

can't believe we forgot about them. They're like, you know, they support

and everything else. Like, they're amazing.

I mean, I think that's a really good idea.

Yeah, and just taking that hands -on approach like we talked about. Really

feeling for things and how they work and what we can learn from it to

get a good grade because that's my priority.

That's also my priority. I want to make sure that I graduate.

Yeah. Make sure I get a really good degree.

And it says here that the winning sperm, which I think that's kind of a fun name

for it, winning the race.

It says that it will have a chemical reaction that shuts

out all other sperm.

Interesting. So it's kind of competitive.

What else?

And then it fuses.

with the egg.

So it just, it really gets in there, locks it down, shuts everyone out.

Wow.

Yeah. It's a hard process, really. It's like a, they fight for their life to

create life.

I mean, it's amazing.

Sperm is pretty impressive.

It's very impressive.

Yeah.

I'm glad that we're starting on something so interesting instead of

boring.

That would be kind of discouraging to start the semester that way.

100%. So what do you think? Do you think that

breasts are better, like bigger or smaller? Do you think it doesn't really

matter?

I mean, I don't think it necessarily really matters.

I think, I don't know. I don't know if that's... Yeah, I wonder if that has

anything to do with it. I don't think so, though. I feel like all breaths are,

you know, helpful to everything.

It's been such a good lesson.

Yeah, I feel like I've learned so much. And I mean, I'm just really impressed

with sperm and how something...

So small can be so powerful and everything it goes through.

Yeah, so am I. This is incredible.

Yeah, absolutely.

Well, thank you so much for taking time to study with your stepmom. I know it's

not the coolest thing to do, but it helped me. Come on, Mom. It was great.

Best study session ever.

Yeah.
