This story by Sid Youngers is the sort of thing that would've been sharper and funnier with the writing of Seasons Five or Six.  Thirteen-year-old D.J. is getting erections in school and Roseanne reluctantly agrees to let Dan deal with it, although she ends up upsetting D.J. with a story about getting her first period at 13.  (This contradicts the episode where Roseanne and Darlene's menarche age is 11.)  Meanwhile, David goes out with a cheerleader named Dinah but breaks up with her because he connects more with Becky.  The best scene here is the tag, where Roseanne-the-producer runs slang for erections past the ABC censor.
