Learning about Genetics

I'm grading student work covering an introduction to genetics. One of the assignments given as a "Do Now Activity" to get students in their seats and working at the beginning of class was "Write down 3 things you want to learn about genetics". Now, most people did well on this. There are no right or wrong answers, as long as you put 3 things about genetics you got the three points. Of course some students only put 2, or 1, or wrote down the numbers 1, 2, and 3 but left them blank. Nice. Then there is this one I just read and had to make as public as I know how. Remember, the assignment is: Write down three things you want to learn about genetics.

Response (verbatim):
"How feel when your wife have a baby and you can do sex?"
"What happen when two mans do a sex?"

Oh god I wish I could make this stuff up.
