Oh yeah... you totally bailed! LOL But OMGS, that was just too funny!!

I've said it before, I'll say it again: I LOVE your boys!!

I had a similar conversation with my cousin when she was little... whole, "how are babies made" question. When they catch you unawares tis quite shocking.

You'll have to tell us what hubby says if Owen remembers to ask him.

Well, I've already given him the 'heads up' that the question may be coming so at least he has a chance to prepare. In my defence, I was blindsided by it! I should have seen the direction the conversation was going, but I didn't!

Lol! You bailed, but I don't after him saying where's the door I can totally relate I kind of did the same thing with my son.

A couple of years ago sex ed came up so I decided to sit my little one down for "the talk"... He proceeds to tell me he already knew all about sex. Me being the parent I amd asked him to tell me what he knows and that we could go from there. He told me "Sex is mating. I watch animal planet I know all about it." I really didn't know what to say after that and I couldn't laugh because he was serious so instead we went to the book store and I got him a book and told him to come to me if he ever had any questions.

I mean seriously what do you say when they some up with these kinds of comments. It was almost as bad as the bra comment to the sales lady he made once.

i> I got him a book and told him to come to me if he ever had any questions.

That's how my parents told me about sex. They bought me a book, "How to talk to your teen about sex", gave it to me, told me to read it and if I had any questions, to ask.

I think that had to have been the best way for them to do it.

My cousin and I found out by finding my dad's old skin mags. You know, the ones that really show detail? Good times. we were like, 'OH!!!!! That's how it happens!.......EWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

I used to tell everyone that when I was in my mother's belly, her breasts were my cupboards for holding things. They were big, because I had a lot of stuff in there. *shrugs*

[frakkin_eh]

oh skin mags!!!! That's where most of my education came from. My GOD, fathers are not very good at hiding stuff, are they?

I kinda think that maybe my dad didn't hide them very well on purpose, so then he wouldn't have to answer all the questions..... *shrugs*

[redrockcan]

Hee hee!! OMG that is so funny!! Pass it along to Dad, good job!! ;)

[frakkin_eh]

Thanks man. I thought it was a pretty good move on my part!

[vash26]

He waited until he was six? I've had this conversation with my three years old - lols.

[frakkin_eh]

Really? Holy crap! I wouldn't think at 3 that they'd be anywhere NEAR ready to understand enough about it to even ASK the questions.

What did you tell her?

[vash26]

Oh I just told her exactly where the baby came from. And at three they simply accept that. But I had more babies recently, I think that that may have peaked her interest in the subject a lot.
