Alexander's Little Talk (Part One)



Guest Poster: Jadzia Dax

Worfie and I have been summoned to a meeting with Miss Forrester, who is Alexander's teacher on the Enterprise.

This has sent Worfie into his usual worrying state.

"It sounds as if his grades might be slipping." Worf tells me as we walk towards the school, "If they are, he will be severely punished. Alexander must not bring shame on the family by having failing grades."

"Don't get uptight about that, Worfie." I tell him, "You know it never does Alexander any good when you inflict that Klingon philosophy into him. He wanted to be a ballet dancer at one stage."

"He is meant to be a Klingon warrior!" protests Worf.

We enter ther schoolroom.

"Hello Lieutenant Worf and Jadzia." says Miss Forrester as she greets us.



"Whatever Alexander has done." Worfie blurts out, "I can assure you that he will be punished most severely. In addition to that, he will be denied replicator priveliges until he is at least 30."

"Sssshh" I whisper, "Let's hear Miss Forrester first."

"Err...yes," starts Miss Forrester in a hesitant manner, "This is a little delicate, but yesterday, Alexander was err...pestering a female student named Emily he was sitting with."

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"Well" she continues, "Alexander wanted to kiss her. Emily refused. This lead to a lot of trouble in the classroom."

"How so?" Worf asked.

"Another little girl, named Sharon said she wanted to kiss Alexander, but he did not want to kiss her."

"Oh dear!" I exclaim, but trying to supress a giggle, while Worf is looking disgusted.

"I've spoken to the other parents." continues Miss Forrester, "And they have agreed to have 'the talk' with their children. It leaves just you."

"What do you mean by 'the talk'" asks Worf. I sigh.

"It means when a parents and children have to talk about the birds and the bees." I tell him with exasperation.

"The birds and the bees?" Worf asks, with increasing bewilderment.

"Reproduction!" I shout out.

Finally Worf gets the idea.

"I cannot talk to Alexander about that!" Worf protests, "In Klingon society, men and women find out for themselves when they meet up."

"That may be true, Worfie," I say, "But that can't happen with a young boy on a starship."

"But I don't know how to approach telling him." Worf admits.

"In that case." I admit, "As much as it annoys me to say this, "We might need the help of that Counselor, the Troi woman."

To be continued...

What do birds and bees have to do with human reproduction? That sounds a little kinky.

Linda said...

Ah, "the talk", all of us who are parents dread that one so I can feel Worf's pain!

Relax Worf! Piece of cake. Jadzia and Troi will have this nailed in no-time. The betazoid is good at reading minds... Happy New Year Captain.

Happy New Year, Captain Picard and
Everyone at Starfleet.
My engine ran into some problem and I was lucky Q came on board, or else I might reach you only mid of the year.

It doesn't even appear as if a Klingon ballet will soften up this teacher!

The Mistress of the Dark said...

Oh dear. I think a group hug will solve all the problems

This makes me want to pull out all of the TNG episodes that include Worf/Alexander interaction. How much I miss that kind of thing.

'The birds and the bees'?

I always wondered how that talk would go......

bird and bee biology is so far away from human behaviour and reproduction as to be nigh on impossible to achieve by us...

All I can say is - Good Luck, Worf!!

Is it still called "the birds and the bees" in your extra terrestrial life? Some things never change.

Tawnya Shields said...

Poor Worf. I agree that someone more at ease with this subject needs to speak to Alexander. Maybe it would help if Worf sit in on the life lesson. Perhaps, he could learn a thing or two.
