notes on maturity.

In my year 7 class today we were talking about sightseeing in London and, on looking at a photo of the Gherkin in the text book, one of the lads charmingly said "look, it's the dildo!" much to the delight of his friends. I'm fairly sure that I didn't know the German word for dildo when I was 12 (and it's 'der Godemiché', if you were wondering).

Perhaps the students in the Oberstufe (6th form) would be more likely to know such vocab, but oddly the boys in my year 13 class still find it highly amusing to make fart noises and throw paper aeroplanes across the classroom.

Anyway I probably shouldn't be one to judge maturity levels of the Germans; I clearly think that a valid reason for buying food items is a funny name...
