Shaugs hit us with the: 'Dad what is sex' thing yesterday arvie... I needed a bottle of Jack Daniels! We had to endure telling a SEVEN year old 'THE FACTS OF LIFE'!
We went in strong; crumbled in the middle: regained our strength; came out the other side with JUST as much information as we deemed fit! I think his innocence is still preserved... Well... he WAS playing on the wii when I last checked... Not out raping & pillaging the villages of England. I think I can safely say: Your daughters are still safe with us!
The only tricky question came when he asked why we dont have other babies, if that was how they are made. We patiently explained about the 'hole in the sheet' and that: 'Sex should only be attempted a few times'... I must confess: I did become a blethering WRECK when he asked: 'Why; if all this happens; why there weren't any more brothers and sisters running around'...
I didn't know whether to beam with pride, in the misguided imaginings, that my son thought I had a fantastic sex life; or recoil in horror! All in all I think we did okay though...
Just when I thought I was out of the woods and on my FIFTH bottle of Jack D, he asked: 'How many eggs mom can lay; and how do they hatch inside her...' Clearly I didn't do well on the ol sex ed thingy! I'm feeling ragged around the edges peeps! Ragged around the edges...
