"Be Open and Honest With Your Children About Sex"......what a bunch of malarky

[chessiegirl]

I recently joined my three girls, ages 22,19 and 15, together with the youngest ones friend (I'll call her Mindy), on a shopping trip to the "Valley" which is the term used for the general area in which all "cool stores" reside. As we neared Borders Book Store, they began talking about sex and I, being the prudent mom that I am, kept my mouth shut

hahaha, oh dear. Well it was a nice try!
I recall my own mother's discussion of sex. It went like this.
Her: "About sex."
Me: "Um, yes?"
Her: "You know all that don't you?"
Me: "Yup"
Her: "OK, good."

I just realized I never replied to this, HP, so sorry. I remember coming home from school with a very embarrassing pink pamphlet which I then tried desperately to hide from the boys on the bus. Later that same night, my mom sat me down and drew some kind of diagram that had all kinds of arrows and squiggly lines and round things traveling all over. I like your mom's approach much better.

By the way, did you lie when you say, "Yup?"
