The girls giggled as Sara Reddick held the banana, half turned away from it. Miss Coletti described her actions as she went along. \u201cCarefully open the package and take out the prophylactic. Be sure you know which side is up; you want the body of the roll facing toward the reservoir.\u201d She spoke as technically as possible, trying to keep the nervous tittering to a minimum. \u201cOnce you\u2019re sure you have it oriented properly, gently\u2014Oh, for Christ\u2019s sake, Marcy!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The class erupted in laughter as the banana fell to the floor, half-dropped, half-thrown. Sara shuffled to her chair and buried her face in her arms. Miss Coletti sighed heavily. \u201cIt\u2019s not a rattlesnake girls; it\u2019s a banana. You\u2019ve all eaten them before; I\u2019ve seen you in the lunchroom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s not what it\u2019s supposed to be, though, is it?\u201d piped up Anise Johnson. She was a trouble-maker, always asking uncomfortable questions and making questionable remarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt would be just my luck if it was her,\u201d Mary Coletti remarked to herself. \u201cNo, Miss Johnson, that is not what it is supposed to be.\u201d Miss Coletti always addressed them formally when she needed to show her displeasure. \u201cBut statistically, about a third of you have already seen and even touched what it is supposed to be, so it shouldn\u2019t be too much for me to expect one of you to hold a banana for three minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen why not use a real one? Or you know\u2026a dildo.\u201d Anise whispered the last. Mary Coletti noted that she had some shame, at least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause your parents would storm the building with pitchforks and torches; it was hard enough getting this simple demonstration past the PTA.\u201d She gave Anise a hard and frank look. \u201cMaybe you should be up here, since you\u2019re so confident.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rising to the challenge, Anise strode to the front of the class and retrieved the banana from the floor. She held the banana at her groin and made humping motions. \u201cLike this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSomething like that,\u201d Miss Coletti answered, \u201cbut, if you don\u2019t loosen your grip, your boyfriend will be your girlfriend before the end of the night.\u201d Anise reddened, and almost dropped the banana, but recovered, and held it properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy do we have to learn this?\u201d asked Tricia Parks. \u201cCan\u2019t the boys do it themselves?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause people lie,\u201d Miss Coletti answered. \u201cAnd the best way to be sure a job is done is to do it yourself.\u201d Because seventeen years ago, one of you had a father who lied, and a sixteen-year-old girl lost a year of her life and the only thing she ever really loved, Mary\u2019s rebellious brain added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She turned back to Anise, and continued the demonstration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
