What are you reading? 'Almost 12'. Okay. It's uh the story of sex. You want to hear a little
bit? Oh sure, yeah please. 'Someday God will give you the gift of love through a boy or
a girl who will become your husband or wife. You will enjoy being with the opposite sex.
If you have an older brother or sister, you probably know what I mean.' [Laughing]. What?!
Quote. Ewwww!
This was a book that my mom used when I was almost twelve. Almost Eleven is just a coloring
book. I didn't have a book I went to the boys and girls club in Northern Kentucky and those
kids knew what was up. I didn't know what was up and they were very vague. So they were
just like we're doing it or like Chrissy is doing it. And I'm like, Chrissy! Chrissy,
what is she doing and they're like it. I was like the rumor mill. I was like did you hear
about Chrissy doing it? My brother is like shut up stop saying that. I didn't even know
there was another person involved because they didn't say like she's doing it with Jason.
Like it was just like she's doing it. I'm like good for Chrissy. Like she's doing it.
I remember having this distinct idea which really wasn't that far off the mark that sex
was when a man and a woman get together in bed and then they kiss and then they watch
television. Okay. It was always followed up by television. [Laughing]. Like without television
there's no possible way that a baby could occur you have to be watching at least a half-hour
sitcom. Yeah. The older I get the more that is my concept of sex. Yeah I would prefer
it probably. In sixth grade we had uh, uh, it was like a movie that they would make us
watch that was basically like welcome to puberty and we all got little bags that were like
here's some deodorant and a pad and a tampon like this will carry me far. It was weird
like that sexual harassment video you watch at work where it's like bad actors and like
reenactments like a girl who's like oh my period! And I was like that's going to happen
to me? 'So what's the big deal? It means that blood is flowing out of my uterus. [Bowling
pins being knocked over.] Oh. What Judy has just told Johnny is the type of over-simplification
that can be easily misunderstood. Especially if you get your information on street corners.'
I want to know why we call it the birds and the bees. Yeah. Isn't that also confusing
for children? I still don't really get it. Yeah they think, is it like the stork stuff?
Do birds have sex with bees is what I want to know? Do you get stung? I would like to
lobby and more accurate euphemism for sex. Okay. Like tv time. Hotdog and coleslaw. Or
two hotdogs. We should make it more--Two hotdogs!---inclusive. Exactly or two coleslaws. It could be a hotdog
buffet. Mmm-hmm. All the toppings you want. I'm going to make a book that's just like
a barbeque. Yeah. It's like a cookbook for barbeques. Yes! But secretly it's teaching
the future generations about their bodies. The hamburgers go off and--[laughter]. Then
the mustard and ketchup get together and that's how their babies--that's how they make secret
sauce. If there's anybody here who doesn't understand sex yet I don't know what to tell
you. We're going to have a book coming out soon called 'The Sexual Cookout'. I want to
know what other people thought sex was when they were kids. Did you have kooky ideas involving
tv time, hotdogs, birds, bees? Let us know in the comments below. Be sure to check out
the video Akilah and I made on her channel. Do that. Akilah where can people find you?
Youtube.com/smoothiefreak or itsakilahobviously.com. Akilah thanks for coming on. Thanks for inviting
me. Sorry if I horrified you with that book. It's fine, it's...who needs to sleep? This
was kind of therapy for me. So thank you for that. It's like The Ring, you're like passing
it on, like I'm going to live! Look at these weird bodies! I'm just going to leave it behind.
I have to make a copy of it now.
