Birds and Bees

The men in our household spent a Saturday in March building a little tool shed in the back yard. I think each had a great time working together as father and son. The project did take most of the day so topics of conversation must have varied between Star Wars, guns, bikes..etc..etc...etc.

It wasn't until later that evening when I learned what the converstation was really about...

Kim had talked to his son about how babies were made...I gasped and thought hopefully to myself..."you told him babies were picked from a cabbage patch....or...the toy aisle at wal-mart...or the stork delivered him?..."

Oh...no!....

My dear husband began to relate his conversation. He told the REAL STORY with anatomically correct words in talking with Hunter about how babies were made!...um...I was shocked...a little....so I won't repeat what Kim said here...

To make a short story shorter and to paraphrase Hunter's words.."Dad, you did that to Mom?...eww...two times?...eww!"

I can't help but laugh...aren't you glad that you didn't have to participate in that conversation? That's why it should be a father/son talk.

I don't know Jenny! It seems to be about the right time for those kind of talks ...be thankful your husband is such a spiritually inspired man and can think of excellent ways of sharing things so that anyone can understand.

the comment by Hunter cracks me up!! Thanks for the laugh.

I have found that if you make "THE TALK" as normal and natural as any gospel discussion it's not such a shock and big deal. This is how and WHY Heavenly Father made us as men and women.

I guess I'm weird? Been discussing with them since the girls were little bitty and am doing the same with my son. I just add more details as they grow older. I LOVE that Steven is just as comfortable talking to the girls and they are cool with it...it's not a dirty subject after all.
