| What did your kid say? I love the answers from the original thread where the 7 year old would adopt instead of having sex. What priceless things have your kids said about sex? |

| DD is an only child. We've been talking about this since she was two, and she's 12 now. When she was about four, we went over it again, and she was silent (after cringing at hearing HOW the egg and sperm meet) for a minute, and then consolingly patted me on the leg and said ,"Well, at least you only had to do THAT once. Could have been worse!" |

told my 7 year old daughter when she asked. (Strangely, 9 year old son has not asked yet, but probably knows based on other conversations we've had...)
anyway, conversation went like this, (we were looking at a book) DD: so how does the sperm get into the egg? where does it come from? Me: Well, it's kinda of weird, you ready? DD: yeah Me: the man puts his penis inside the woman's vagina. DD: WHAT! Eww, that's gross Me: yes, it's a little weird DD: (Pause) So you and daddy did that 2 times? Me: Yes. We did that 2 times. And SCENE. |

Conversation when my DD was 4. We had previously told her that babies are made when something from the daddy, called sperm, meets something egg from mommy and then the baby grows inside mommy. We had also been spending many weekends putting together Ikea furniture.
DD: Did the parts that make the baby come in a bag or a box? Us: Umm, well they came from inside the mommy and daddy. DD: When you made [baby brother] did it make a mess? Us: [Laughing]: Yes, but we cleaned up! I should mention that we had this conversation on the subway. |

One word from my DD, aged 7: "Gross!"
and then later: Did you and daddy do that? |

Love these! Can't wait to have this conversation with DD. Or, rather, I can't wait to direct her to DH just to see the look on his face before I jump in and save him.

Why use the words "gross" and "weird"? |

| Pp here. I used the term weird to warn her a bit that what I was going to say was going to surprise her. And I was right. She was the one who said gross. |

| My son came home from 1st grade talking about sex (some kid in his class had a teenage brother). So I told him about sex and showed him a book. That was the end of it. A year later, out of the blue, he said, "You and Daddy had SEX to make me, didn't you?" LOL! |

When I was pregnant with #2, DD (3.5) asked how the baby was going to get out of my belly. I told her the baby would came out of my vagina. Silence, then she changed the subject.
Currently pregnant with #3, DD is 5.5, and she has not asked once how this baby will get out of my belly. I think she either doesn't believe what I told her the first time, or doesn't want to think about it. I'm so glad she has not yet asked how the baby got in there. "Well, honey, remember that day during nap you came in mommy and daddy's room and mommy and daddy weren't wearing any clothes and kept telling you no, we can't play legos now, go back to your room, get out get out get out? Yeah...that's how babies are made." |

Well, I can share this little experience.
My DD who was almost 4 at the time was at a birthday party. The 10 - 15 or so kids were all at an activity table making pirate hats and whatnot to get the party started. Out of NOWHERE, apropos of NOTHING, my daughter exclaims: "GIRLS HAVE VAGINAS AND BOYS HAVE PENISIS!" The parents were all giggling a bit, and watched to see what would happen. Some of the kids didn't notice, some did and merely nodded in agreement or uttered a general, "Yes, that is so true." As if she had merely stated that it sure was nice outside, wasn't it?
The end. (hee hee) |

And then there was this:
My second daughter at about 2, almost 3, walked in on her daddy going pee. He didn't notice until she came riiiiiight up behind him and peeked her head around and said, "DAD, ARE YOU PEEING OUT OF YOUR FINGER!" Oh, my gosh, so damn funny. Even if my husband's ego might've been slightly bruised.  Anyway, we reminded her of what she knew, that boys have penises for peeing, and girls don't. But the idea of her daddy peeing out of his penis stuck with her for a long time, despite our correction. And sometimes she's offer this little tidbit of misinformation out of the blue, for no reason that I could discern, to total strangers. On the bus, kids a the playground, whatever.
As if she was thinking, c'mon, this body stuff is INTERESTING and YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE SOME OF THE CRAZY SHIT I KNOW ABOUT BODIES! |

I was on a school bus for a camp trip and I overheard the following conversation. All the kids were about 7 except for the "big sibling" who was about 9
Kid 1: So that's how babies are made. Kid 2: No Kid 1: Yep, your parents did that! So did yours, and yours, and yours (pointing at various kids each of whom turns red). Kid 1: And yours (pointing at the younger of a pair of siblings) did it TWICE Little Sibling: twice? Big Sibling: For your information, my parents did it more than twice. They do it all the time. Because sometimes it doesn't work. And sometimes they don't even want it to work. They do it because it's fun! Kid 1 (recoiling in horror, and turning to me) That's not true is it? She made that up! Right? Me: Well, actually I think that's a great question for your parents. Why don't you ask them when you get home. |
