Yeppers.....
this is our book of the month that Randy and I have chose to read.
Of course, not because we didn't understand the birds and the bees, but because we didn't understand how to tell our son about the birds and the bees.
Apparently, my boy couldn't learn the facts of life from TV or bad influence friends like the rest of us!
Sheesh!
So, as THE parents.....we had to do something to clear up a large amount of pre-teen hormonal confusion.
(I was actually shocked at how confused and misinformed he was. Makes me feel bad...I thought I was good about talking with my kids about these kind of issues....
I guess, not so much.)
I chickened out and made Randy do the dirty work.
He did a good job :)
And now all I want to do is throw up when I think about it.
I don't really like this part of parenting.
(btw: This is a really good book. I chose it because of it's way of explaining sex, as "making love" between two committed people, committed usually meaning married.
I also like that it touched on the respect of one another.
It taught about the natural mental and physical emotion you feel and the wonderful softness and love a couple can share together that makes sex special and not dirty.)
uck....I'm nauseated again.

Oh-I dread these conversations. Can't even imagine it at this point.
Oh-to be a fly on the wall.....considering the post yesterday about "Big Foot" and Sasquatch.....I can only imagine some of the things that came out of that boys mouth during this conversation.
Yes, this is DEFINETLY a job for RD, The Sex God. Good Luck wit all dat!
