What's Monistat?

One slip of the tongue and the lesson went from science to feminine hygiene (?). My student teacher was asking students to make some predictions as to what magnets would be attracted to. One boy points to the thermostat and says, "the box thing with with the temperature." Student teacher says, "the Monistat?...ohh I mean thermostat?" Slip of the tongue (to which I turned my head to laugh at of course). No problem...these are 8 year olds right? Wrong.
The first kid pipes up: "My mom has Monistat in the bathroom, but she says it's only for girls." Then another kid adds, "What's Monistat?"
Kid #1: "I think its cream, but I don't know why I can't use it"
Kid #2: "Miss what is Monistat then?" The class readily agrees, they want to know. She looks over at me. Don't look at me, you said it. Perfect learning opportunity! Sucka! It was very entertaining to say the least. For the record, she did a superb job avoiding the question...lol.

Reminds me of when I was in teacher's college and teaching a grade 6 gym class . We were doing soccer drills. I blew the whistle and some boys were still bouncing their soccer balls around. I said, "Boys! hold onto your balls!" They immediately dropped their balls and grabbed their penises and snickered... From then on I always specify what kind of balls. Boys!
