I want to read that book! :)<BR/><BR/>We are planning to just talk about this stuff as it comes up - but then, we are both youth workers, so we end up talking about sex a lot! The best way is just to brazen it out - any hint of embarressment and the kids pounce on it!<BR/><BR/>The Broken manThe Broken Manhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03787104318130021534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38477057.post-38078442683832041002008-08-15T02:10:00.000-04:002008-08-15T02:10:00.000-04:00Um. Yeah. That is like The Most Uncomfortable conversations we have to have with our children. I pawned that conversation with my son off on my father!meleah rebeccahhttp://mommamiameaculpa.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38477057.post-24190383323275056442008-08-15T00:48:00.000-04:002008-08-15T00:48:00.000-04:00This cracked me up!<BR/><BR/>Just this past week, Julia said, "Boys and girls are different because boys have a penis and girls have a vagina."<BR/><BR/>"Yep," I say.<BR/><BR/>"Well, what does a penis look like?"<BR/><BR/>I have NO CLUE what to say. "Well..um...it kind of looks like...kind of like a really big...finger."<BR/><BR/>Good Lord, I've probably scarred her for life.Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16650345571126106067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38477057.post-306806778299245052008-08-14T16:24:00.000-04:002008-08-14T16:24:00.000-04:00Funny! I have to say that I am very open with my children as painful as it is for me! As they were present for the birth of their younger siblings, they have no questions about "where babies come from", We also have several books that we have picked up over the years. I also have a college book from a Human Sexuality class ... a great resource, with lots of information!<BR/><BR/>Be brave ladies and gents ... we should be talking about these issues, keeps our children safe!Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09204011203600239829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38477057.post-4254498149056098952008-08-14T14:18:00.000-04:002008-08-14T14:18:00.000-04:00I'm not sure which is funnier...the story Mr. Schmitty told or your escapades at the book store. I always thought I'd be completely open about sex with my kids, at least that's what I thought until I became a parent. Now I'm pretty much a chicken.Triciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06086740613832715808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38477057.post-43146392002882554642008-08-14T13:42:00.000-04:002008-08-14T13:42:00.000-04:00Liv was watching television the other day (Zach and Cody...ick) and she came into the kitchen and asked me what masturbation was. I felt myself blushing and gulped and then I thought, "WHAT the hell did she hear on Zach and Cody to take her there?" So, I asked her. She said, "Well, his mother said that she needed to talk to them about malnutrition and I wondered what that was all about. Some kid in their class was refusing to eat."<BR/><BR/>How I ended up hearing the word "masturbation" instead of "malnutrition" is anyone's guess.Mariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05049511202014141182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38477057.post-69881925954565678532008-08-14T11:42:00.000-04:002008-08-14T11:42:00.000-04:00Momo fali: Sorry about that!<BR/><BR/>Beth: Probably laughing AT us for being idiots!<BR/><BR/>Jennifer H: I let him read the book that I bought this morning. I asked if he had any questions. "NOPE, can I go play Wii?" Sigh.<BR/><BR/>Mrs. 4444: I am definitely in charge of where the book is to be stored. Otherwise he and his friends will be...well, doing what my girlfriend and I were doing.Mrs. Schmittyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14745072739050640143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38477057.post-46211332126515702032008-08-14T00:36:00.000-04:002008-08-14T00:36:00.000-04:00Well, my kids liked Where Did I Come From. I made sure to tell them that it is a parent's job to decide when their child gets the details (no sharing the book with friends). I have no idea if they've honored that, but I hope they have!! Mr.4444 and I alternate sex talks whenever it comes up; keeps it balanced, which is clearly what you need in this situation, haha!!Mrs4444http://www.blogger.com/profile/06426176094895489541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38477057.post-15414982580914037082008-08-13T21:18:00.000-04:002008-08-13T21:18:00.000-04:00"How Babies Are Made" is the book that was around our house! It is hilarious, but it's great for younger kids to learn from. I posted about it once, and you wouldn't believe the number of hits I still get from that post.<BR/><BR/>I have a feeling I'm going to be the one giving the talks in our family. It's probably better that way.Jennifer Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16239563357592230711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38477057.post-1614366794623295752008-08-13T16:42:00.000-04:002008-08-13T16:42:00.000-04:00OMG I dread the day!!!

Who the heck applies for THAT job?! One sick person, that's who!<BR/><BR/>Baratch Family: I'll stop by. I love family pictures...though don't know a single word of Japanese. I do love the symbols of your language, as I am an artsy girl and think they are beautiful.<BR/><BR/>Karly: Secretly, I really can't wait to see W.'s facial expression to that. It's will kind of be like the time T. sucked on a lemon!<BR/><BR/>Drama: LOL! I hear you. I love when Mr. Schmitty gets that "Atta Boy!" grin on his face when a girl flirts with W. Wait until his Princess gets a little older, he'll be sitting on the front stoop with a shotgun.<BR/><BR/>Jay: I can be an ass with my girlfriend, but talking to my 10 year old about sex? I get a bit flustered.<BR/><BR/>Zephra: AHHHHH! I don't blame you! P.S.

Men, huh? <BR/><BR/>Still, with you being a reincarnated adolescent boy and all, you should be able to relate to W really well and give him the talk he needs. Lucky you!

Put W. and poor Mr. Schmitty! Hope you found a good book. Our science program last year (SECOND GRADE!) did a thing on babies and how they were made and how they grew and GAH! KILL ME! I could have skipped it...but I didn't. So, Eeyore was thoroughly grossed out to discover that he began his life by exiting my hoo-ha.Karlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15514956133338105723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38477057.post-48290745538291715382008-08-13T07:26:00.000-04:002008-08-13T07:26:00.000-04:00Hello.This is first time for me to visit your site.<BR/>I have three children (6year-old boy,4year-old boy,2year-old girl)<BR/>They are angel, sometimes devil, though...<BR/>I'm happy if you link to my site.It is written in Japanese(some of the words are English) but show pictures.<BR/><A HREF="http://baratchfamilykidspets.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">baratch family</A>ばらっちhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03272060026025574890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38477057.post-12123949744445421242008-08-13T02:04:00.000-04:002008-08-13T02:04:00.000-04:00My husband doesn't do sex talks I have to. <BR/>The funniest book I ever saw had cut-outs that were layered to make a picture.
