s/o Best reactions to how babies are made

[Anonymous]

One child said "That's just disgusting"

and the other child said

"I don't believe you"

[Anonymous]

Accompanied by serious stink-eye, "You and Daddy did THAT?!"

Later, over breakfast one morning, very non-chalantly:

"I want to get married someday. ..But I don't want to have a baby. I don't want to stick my penis in some girl's vulva." (takes another bite of bagel)

My three year old grandson asked me how babies get inside their mommies' tummies ( his mom was pregnant with #2), and I gave him a very simple but truthful answer about the sperm meeting the egg, etc. Then ten minutes later as I am buckling him in his car seat he asked " So what is sex?"

Fast forward seven years and I am eating with my two grandsons now 10 and 7 at the Cheesecake factory. Out of the blue "#1 asks me "What is a condom?" I took a deep breath and gave a matter of fact description of a condom and why it is used. Then grandson #2, who is an athlete, said to me " I don't get it. Why would people have sex if they don't want a baby? Is it like practice or something?"

I just love being a grandparent.

So the context here is that my son and his first cousin are adopted, something we have always been very open about. It is an oft-told story that the first well-intentioned adult to describe the mechanics of baby-making to my son was told: "No way. Everyone knows that if you want a baby,you go to an agency and fill out a lot of forms."

Yes, it's like practice, and practice makes perfect

A snippet from my 7 yo's conversation with his friend: ... and then you need to have sex to have babies. So if you have sex for a million times, you're going to have a million babies. And then what would you DO with them?
