I remember some dear friends of ours who were determined to be open and accurate in answering their children's questions about sex. But, on his first day in first grade, their son Brian hopped happily off the school bus and greeted his Dad with:<br />"Hey, Dad! What's a double dildo??" Some kids hear way too much too soon!Dr. Kathy McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903015507894951725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-43839486612303446.post-88707118927556864272013-05-29T21:15:08.550-04:002013-05-29T21:15:08.550-04:00Two years ago when my older son was 6 he asked how...Two years ago when my older son was 6 he asked how babies were made and I told him. He seemed unfazed. <br /><br />A few months later he told me that [evil maniac school friend] told him that "There's *another* kind of sex." He was way, way too embarrassed to tell me what he learned though, and I've never been able to get it out of him.

I feel you so, so much right now! My daughter's 8, and her friend showed her this fine bit of reading:<br />http://www.amazon.com/Where-Did-Come-Peter-Mayle/dp/0818402539<br /><br />I think it's been around for ages, but now she's of the opinion that when you want to have children, a man has to "climb on top of" a woman and "jiggle and shake." I'm not making this up, I got the book so that I could see what she'd read.<br /><br />Indeed. I guess I'm glad some other kid told her, in the grand Judy Bloom tradition, but I'm also still shaking my head at the sheer 70s-ness of this literature.<br /><br />Anyway. I have no answers. Time moves on, and soon they'll be stealing our Valley of Horses.<br />Auntykurohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08965495896812633463noreply@blogger.com
