explaining the birds & bees & where babies come from

Post Reply New Topic

My sister is pregnant and not married. The other day my son walks up to me with a very concerned look on his face. I asked what the issue was and he whispered, "Mom, aunt nix is going to have a baby." I said, "Yea, she is. Isn't that exciting?!" At this point, his face was more distraught than I'd ever seen it. I said, "Do you not like that she is going to have a baby?" He responded, whispering even lower, "But she's not married," as though some great force were going to overhear and throw us all in jail. I smiled and thought to myself, oh boy, It's time to have that talk. Crap. Being that I am a single parent, I knew I had to get ready for a major interrogation, and fast. So, I explained it the baby making process as literal and G-rated as possible. He just sat and looked at me the entire time, saying nothing. When I finally got to the end of my sex ed 101 talk, he looked at me for a good 20 seconds with his head leaned a bit to the left and a look on his face that would equal the look of someone who had to unclog a toilet with there hand or something. Then he said, "I'm just going to go ahead and let you know now, I am very sorry mom, but you are never getting any grand-babies and I've decided on getting a pet cat instead of a wife." Whew. Glad that one's over...

He'll probably change his mind. Whoops I just BONGOed him.

EXCELLENT!!

Let me know what, precisely, you said to your kid, so I can try it out on MY kid.

That is hilarious and great.

I just asked my son when he gorws up if he would rather have a cat, or a wife.

He told me he would rather have a lasagne! LOL

(Garfield is a cat, so I think that is what made him say it.)

LOL that's awesome. Glad you got it over with.

I still remember having that talk with my daughter when she was about 9 - I was a little more graphic at that age about what parts go where and so on. I still remember the look of horror on her face when she asked, "Mom, does the girl know the boy is doing that?" "Yes honey, she has to give permission first." I almost fell out of my chair laughing.
