Love at Home (teaching)

This Sunday it was my turn to teach Relief Society, the third hour of our church, where only the women attend.  My lesson was based on upholding BYU's Honor Code even while not attending BYU.  A huge section of the Honor Code includes the Law of Chastity, so naturally I felt obligated to make Relief Society as awkward as possible and talk about making love, or really, the lack thereof.  But luckily, the lesson went well.
After Church, Lizzy's home teacher came over, and was asking her about General Conference (which was last weekend).  He asked her if she thought there was a theme from this Conference.  Lizzy says, "Well, Sadie pointed out in Relief Society today that Conference was all about chastity."  Of course Home Teacher gives me an odd look.  I just started giggling, and tried to explain myself a little bit. "That was Saturday's theme.... Sunday was obedience...um... I taught Relief Society... about chastity... okay...cool."  Lizzy and Annalee speak up, "Sadie did a fabulous job teaching about the Law of Chastity today, actually.  She didn't make it super awkward."  Home Teacher: "Oh really?"  Lizzy: "Yeah, she told CRAZY personal stories about the Law of Chastity." Immediately I start laughing.  Home Teacher's head whips in my direction, shooting me the weirdest look of all, which was sort of a mix between a Kristen Wiig and a Ron Weasley, except with a little more skepticism and laughter.
In my hysterical laughing, I mindlessly told him, "it's really a story you don't want to hear..." followed by a "Let's just leave it at that..."  Realizing what I'd just done, I ran out of the kitchen and hid in my room for the remainder of Home Teacher's visit.  
In my defense, the story I told in Relief Society actually had to do with my VL status... so it's a little opposite end of the spectrum...
