This is an absolutely true story of a girl who has just started 7th grade and tells me that families are invented in the classroom:
“I am the daughter of S who is a single father, that is, we are a single-parent family. But now C wanted to be my son and my best friend’s, he loves the idea of having two mothers, we are a very cool homoparental family. Like C is blond, everyone realizes that the surrogate mother was my friend I. The other day M joined the family, who is now my daughter-in-law, C’s wife. They have three children who came out with cinnamon skin and M’s curly hair.
Then he clarifies that he doesn’t know the grandchildren, he can only imagine them, he laughs and adds fashionable taglines like XD: “In the end it’s all a game and don’t think we’re the only family in the classroom, there are others more original still” , he tells me and laughs again, but not as a joke, he says: “we don’t make fun of it, on the contrary, it’s that we think it’s very good and we don’t have prejudices, people without prejudice are the tank”, he concludes.
I listened to it until the end and I kept thinking that if we adults don’t catch up, it will be the children and adolescents who will teach us the comprehensive sexuality education program, because the classes, A wisely explains, are given everyday life: “what we do is pure invention, but based on real life”.
A detail: the letters instead of the names are to protect the adults closest to her and her friends, because A does not know if they will be prepared for this chronicle.
