The Birds & the Bees

[LifeisaGarden]

Our daughter is almost 11 and I've already had the birds & bees talk with her but she's at that age where she has lots of interesting questions.

Today's questions were,

Mom, what part of your stomach are the babies stored?

A: In the uterus.

What's a uterus?

A: It's the woman's organ that keeps the baby snug as a bug it's also called a womb.

Mom, Where does the baby come out.

A: The woman's vagina

WHAT THE!!!!! HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?!?!?!?!

A: It's like a rubber band and gets really stretchy during childbirth.

Well, if it's like a rubber band does it ever break?

A: Sometimes it does.

For the last month she's been running around saying "vagina" and then laughs her head off.

PM me for my phone number. I'll be happy to explain everything when she calls.

Your welcome.

Never got the talk. Neither did my sister. Neither did my girlfriend. Don't really know anybody who has.

By and large, sex ed explains most, unless your school board is an abstinence-only curriculum where all they do is say "don't have sex. these are the things that can happen to you." I don't know what the girls were taught in it, but according to the girls I know, it was all well-explained. From sex, to STDs, to child bearing and birth.

Also, the "vagina game" has become big at my old high school apparently. Used to be the "penis game." I guess when you're an adolescent, those words are just all too funny. Never will understand. God I feel old...

Whatever you do (and it is bound to happen) don't let Grits talk to her.

Wait until she's 13 and asks about masturbation. That's a fun conversation.

Is it voodoo for girls? I ask because my girlfriend is under the impression that not many girls do it. Had to give her the talk. Go figure. How do mothers explain this to their daughters? My dad never discussed it with me, but I lived with my uncle for a few months around 12 or 13, and he threw me a Playboy one day. Didn't say anything at all.

this thread makes me feel funny in my underwear region.

This is when it's good to be the Dad.

The American Girl books are awesome. We order them, read them & had the talk a while back.

I was not given the talk & didn't want my daughter to go through what I did.

My daughter just flat out asked me about it. She wanted to make sure it was ok.
