"I just responded that the bird was not attacking, just that now that they are friends, he was initiating a game of tag."

Teaching children is quite hard. You have to be able to connect with them before even beginning to teach them the things they need to learn. 

Teachers need to be able to view the world from their students' point of view and try to understand things as they do. The world is a lot different from their perspective, and teachers need to slow down their thinking to be able to relate to them.

Noticing the small details around you is crucial, and the more attentive the teacher is, the better the results can be. Younger kids have a different thought process than even older kids.

A Redditor who goes by the username u/ecv82 made a post on the r/tifu subReddit where she explained how she accidentally showed her 2nd graders "bird p0rn." The user played a Netflix documentary to them and didn't realize it was about birds mating. 

Soon afterward, she started getting bombarded with hard-to-answer questions that she had to answer without revealing anything the kids shouldn't know yet. The user got a lot of interesting reactions to her situation.

Here's the original post by Reddit user u/ecv82:

Op put on a documentary on Netflix for her 2nd graders while finishing up the reports but didn't realize what it what about.

Op tried to find age appropriate answers to the questions her 2nd graders asked.

Here's how the Reddit community reacted to u/ecv82's post:

This is why you don't have a reason to get a lawyer.

The kids will look back at this moment and remember the lies.

It can be disturbing for a kid to watch those documentaries.

Don't follow an internet stranger's advice; you shouldn't risk watching it before bed.

Birds would not approve of what Op did.

"That's a pretty weird way to hug, mom."

It could have been much worse than that.

They saw the opportunity to pun and took it.

The parents might have some complaints after getting weird questions from their kids.

That would have been even worse.

Some people have a wild imagination.

Kids need to hear the truth and be addressed with honestly.

Op would have handled the situation different if it had happened with her own kids.

The kids actually enjoyed the documentary Op made them watch.

Parents are bloodthirsty and can get Op in trouble.

Learning about the birds and the bees.

Birds would not be cool with what Op did.

It can get even worse at Sea World.

Op couldn't have predicted that the documentary would have that, but it would be wiser to double-check next time to avoid awkward questions and angry parents. Some parents are probably avoiding these subjects and wouldn't want to be forced to address them at the moment.
