the talk

i got to have it today. with my 7 year old. wasn't expecting it, but i think it went well. he was shown an impression by a friend of a friend of "having sex with a sexy lady" that looked like come kind of bird dance with waving hands and and bobbing head. I laughed forever and then told him thats not at all what sex looks like. i think i touched on all the basics: sacred gift from God, sperm and egg, anatomy, mechanics, expression of love, marriage, babies, private not because there is anything wrong with it just because it involves private parts of our bodies. sounds like a lot but it really only took 5 minutes. then i made sure to mention "don't listen to anything your friends say about sex, because they don't know anything about it, and they are probably wrong. come talk to me or daddy if you want to talk or have any questions."

Oh. Well. That sounds very thorough. Would you like to hear my sex talk?

It was by my Dad. I was SEVENTEEN.

(Very relieved look) "THANK GOD!" and as he clumped away, "Kay! I talked to her!" --Big Al
