memories about telling your kids about sex

[evedawn]

When my stepson (who is now grown up ) was around 6 we had the following conversation:

Him: Do you and my dad have sex?
Me: (gulp!) yes we do
Him: Why?
Me: cos it's a nice thing for 2 people who love eachotehr to do.
Him: How nice?
Me: Really rreally nice
HIm: Yes but how nice?
Me: well you know how much you love chocoloate icecream?
Him: yes:
Me: well it's about a million times better than that.
Him: WOW!!!!!!!!

Anyone else got any lighthearted stories about their kids childhood questions.

Question I had the other week from my 7 year old.

"Mum, I know all about how babies get into ladies tummies, but how do they get out?"

Another was when we had read that you are supposed to gently pull back your little boys foreskin to clean. Our boys had got to about 6 and 5 at the time with no such intervention and my husband and I were both a bit reluctant to start messing about with their "bits" at their age of awareness. However, he asked them both if they could do it. The younger one did and was highly amused, as was his older brother, when my husband encouraged him to do the same, he said in a completely determined voice "I'm never doing that!" I shall remind him of that when he is 14 and spending hours in the shower!

Last night my six year old, told me that as I had borned him, I had to do everything for him (he wanted his toys fetching) but also as I had borned him, he would do everything for me.
I should have taped it for the adolescent years...

I remember a question I asked my folks at a young age: I was rummiging around in an upstairs cupboard and found what I thought was a teet for a babies bottle. I could not figure out how it would fit or why it was still in it's packaging, when I asked my mum she ummmed & ahhhhed for a while and told me it must have been forgotten about from when I was a baby, but I didn't get an explaination on the fit?

When I think back now it makes me cringe...as I now know that a condom would never work/fit on a baby bottle!!!

I can still remember being rather mystified when I first asked my mother "Mum, what does sex mean?" about why she seemed rather reluctant to answer. Instead she just asked me a question "Er, where did you come across that word?" So, I picked up my comic and showed it the special offer that readers could send off for. On the application form it said "State age and sex" ;-)

Awwww!!!!
My youngest son, after telling him how much he used to kick: "How did a football get in there as well?"!!!! ROFL.
When I first explained the basics of sex:
"Yes, I know I was a seed that went into an egg - but how did I get to it?" Erm......
"When I came out, did I cry?"
"Just a little bit."
"Did you tell me off?" !!!!!!
Wonderful isn't it!

My mum was always very matter of fact about it all. I remember being about 7 or and there was something on tv about mens sperm counts falling and I asked what sperm was, so she told me, I was horrified lol, told her I was never going near a horrible boy if he did things like that lol
