Update: Frito Ray And ‘The Talk’

Frito Ray survived “the talk” with flying colors. Remember? Last week, I mentioned here that Frito Ray had been drafted by Dalton Elementary officials to give the annual sex talk to the fifth-grade boys at the school. A year ago, he told teachers how impressed he was with the film-and-talk presentation that his son William attended. So he was asked to do the honors this year. Frito Ray told Huckleberries that nothing was off limits. At first, he said, the boys “giggled like girls.” But they quickly tuned in. During the Q-and-A, one fifth-grader seemed to distressed that there wasn’t an alternative method for reproduction. I doubt he’ll consider that a problem down the line. Afterward, Frito Ray said, several other fathers in attendance told him that they couldn’t have done what he did. And that his presentation was a far better method to learn about the birds & bees than the way they did as kids.
