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

Oh, come on. You don't have 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.

Let's just...

Let's just get the knowledge we need to get. I'm going to use your wise, very

smart intellectual brain, and I'm going to make sure I get all these.

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

lie, 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...

You're going to be studying this class and figuring 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, melt 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.

Such an interesting place to start.

Seminal 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've got to find the special parts.

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 and, 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.

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

Back to the hands.

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 would be much comfortable.

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.

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 it gets so big.

That's, wow, that's wild.

Mm -mm.

So it's all positive stuff.

Mm -mm.

I think we should highlight that.

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

It's definitely going to be on the test.

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 remember. 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.

Make a great team. And then, you know, we'll both be walking across the

stage before we know it.

With the best GPA ever.

Mm -hmm.

And thank you for helping me.

This is great bonding time. This is great.

Weird?

It's not weird at all.

Let's see.

We've got the windpipe.

Ooh, here we go. Saliva production.

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, that's... 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?

We should 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 this here.

Log in to the site.

Here we go.

I'm going to have to learn how to type faster. 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 topics 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

so that's probably the best place to... Yeah, we'll 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.

talked about?

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. Then we went from there.

I think I can look it back up. Maybe I highlighted something that can help us.

Oh, here we are.

So, let's see.

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

I'm not going to talk about that.

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

happening.

We've got the pants, testes.

Hmm.

Oh, yeah, I remember the sperm.

factory. We've got our little race here.

Let's see.

Yeah, I do know this from factory.

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

from the vagina to the uterus.

12 inches. Wow.

That's going to be on the test.

Let's see.

The race gets tough.

the race, and they're the tiniest human cells. 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

just sticks.

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

my hands are going to be full.

Yeah, I'll carry everything.

Okay, perfect.

Well, I will meet you in the bedroom.

Sounds good.

We've got everything set up and ready to go. Looks 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.

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.

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 female reproductive.

Yeah.

So, okay.

Got the urus.

We touched upon the clitoris. I mean, I think that's important because it's so

sensitive. And things like that. So sperm and egg.

The head made up of genetic material. And tell that enables speedy swimming.

Because remember, only like a small percentage even make it in there.

So once it's 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 that's definitely going to be there. So we definitely got to make sure

we touch that topic. Yeah. So fertilization, we have the implantation,

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 to 12 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?

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.

That's wild because you're the 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

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

get comfier.

Okay.

Come on, get yourself comfortable.

So maybe we should focus more on the next step.

Let's see.

Flexible cartilage.

Okay.

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

be a 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, Hook'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 B .C.

What is that? Small?

Bearing marks of trepanation. Do you know what trepanation means? Oh my gosh.

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 have

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, no, 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...

Plain 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.

Okay.

Boring stuff.

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

Yeah. I don't know that 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 just

my mind.

Let's see.

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 breasts.

Oh. 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

approach to it.

Yeah. 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 breasts? 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 they fight for their life to create

I mean, it's amazing.

Sperm is pretty impressive.

Very impressive.

Yeah.

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

boring. Mm -hmm.

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.

think so, though. I feel like all breasts are, you know, helpful to

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's helped me. Come on, Mom. It was great.

Best study session ever.

Yeah.
