Jannie 05-30-2003, 06:59 PM I wasnt sure if this was for sexually speaking or chit chat, BUT since it is about kids, I decided chit chat....
When you first heard about sex, what did you say? I remember saying, "I WILL NEVER DO THAT" to my mother while she was laughing. She also had a hard time explaining to me WHY you would want to do it other than having a child. I was 11... She said in a few years you will know why and I will not have to explain it, and she was right.
My son is a little bit of a late bloomer and has not been interested in girls a bit until recently. He asked me what an "orgasm" was. Said he knew it had something to do with women. I said, Have you asked your Dad?" and he said, "MOM, dad doesnt' know about women!" (his dad was a womanizer at one time, trust me he knows!) andway, I told him and he said, Oh, I thought that was what it was....uh huh, Im sure he did.
Once when he was 5, he asked me what oral sex was...he had heard it on the play ground and I told him, that oral reports are when you talk outloud in class about a book or something and oral sex is when you talk about it, and at his age, we really didn't need to talk about that right now, and I would tell him later. ha hahah
OKAY, he was only 5! and kids should be kids as long as they can.
I Was just wondering what cute things you or your kids have said about sex when you have told them or you found out.....
Maria 05-30-2003, 07:13 PM This is a cute thread...
One idea I had about sex is that I was sure, as many many kids, that my parents had made love only 4 times in their lives, since we are 4 children.

Lady Starlight 05-30-2003, 07:29 PM Yeah. When I was sufficiently little ( I don't remember how young) I thought sex was disgusting and weird.
I insisted that my parents were way too dignified to do *that*.
::grins::
Jannie 05-30-2003, 08:44 PM my brilliant best friend and I tried to figure out what a "virgin" was.... I told her I knew that it was the "corner of a house" because of the Christmas song, "round yon virgin, mother and child, that people were looking around the corner to see Mary and Joseph"... hahah
What is sad though, is that kids now days aren't that innocent, they hear about stuff now in first grade we didn't know until we were grown, you know.
would be nice if they could be innocent for longer now.
singalou 05-30-2003, 08:47 PM well...my kids are OLDER now and we have to REAL talk about sex...when I was little my parents would ALWAYS take a SUNDAY afternoon NAP and lock the door....always thought that was strange that they locked us out for a NAP=) My mom gave ME, the oldest of four children, the BOOK to read....i was like GAWD....looked it over together and then she asked if i had ?'s....LIKE RIGHT...im going to ASK my MOM=)...said no...my younger sisters never got the BOOK...think i lost it and mom gave up after me....the youngest swears she had to learn everything 'on the street' because of that misplaced book=). Now that I think about it...I do think I looked at the pictures in private tho....I had five children in six years....people always asking me if i KNEW what CAUSED that....yeah=)....I read the BOOK=)!:D
Peachy 05-30-2003, 09:47 PM Yep, I still remember the day, when my daughter was in about 6th grade, when she walked in the kitchen while I was cooking dinner and said, "Mom, does Dad have wet dreams." Talk about almost cutting my finger off !!! My response??? "I don't know honey, you'll have to ask him." :D
Seriously though, there are two great books to teach young children about sex. One is for elementary-aged children called "Where Did I Come From?" and the other is for middle-school aged children called "What's Happening To Me Now?" (covers everything from wet dreams to masturbation) Can't remember who wrote them, but Barnes & Noble carries them. I highly recommend both books.
I had decided when my daughter was very young that she was going to get the correct information from me BEFORE she had a chance to hear all the wrong information from classmates. It is amazing what they tell each other and they believe it!!!
Shewolf 05-31-2003, 03:10 AM I love this thread Jannie, it brings back so many cute memories of my children growing up :)
My Son an Daughter r only a year apart in age (now 25 an 24) so were very close as children an aided an abetted each other in everything.
Memorable momenta:
My daughter aged 2 1/2 loudly asking her rather straightlaced Grandmother "Do you have a Vagina Grandma?" as she asked this whilst they were posing for their christmas photo infront of the tree, the whole family were witness, the silence was deafening! Finally her Grandmother answered very quietly "Yes". My daughter spent the rest of the day informing everyone that "Grandma was a girl!" Didn't help that rest of the family kept giggling about it :)
My Son aged 6 was sent home from school one afternoon for upsetting the other children during recess. He was telling the boys that they did not have Willies, they only had a Penis .... I was later called to the school to recieve a lecture about him using inappropriate language??? Never did figure that one ou!
the cutest...... Overhearing them talking together one day..... My son was asking my daughter what girls like, an the best ways of kissing them... my daughter was explaning in all seriousness that "Only old ppl kiss an do all that yukkie stuff" they then went on to discuss wether I had. My daughter declared "She must have done it with Dad twice, I hope she didn't have to kiss him tho' as he is ugly an bald" I had been divorced from their Biological father for over 10 years by this time. Thankfully
Jannie 05-31-2003, 08:48 AM THOSE WERE HILARIOUS SHEWOLF....and everyone else's memories are precious too...thanks, keep sharing. So funny what kids say....
I forgot about this one.....In church one Sunday out of the blue, my then 4 yo daughter announced to everyone that "I heard mommy and daddy wrestling last night in the bed, hehehe, and I wanted to joint them, but I thought no, I won't." hahah. What could you say about that. We all got a good laugh.
Nessa 06-02-2003, 03:53 PM Sunday school teacher walks into class and says
ok kids today we are going to talk about which part of our bodies are closest to God what do you think.
Sally raises her hand and says "it's your hands because you put them together when you pray"
teacher says 'very good and other ideas?'
timmy raises his hand and says "it's your heart because that's where you feel your love for God"
teacher says 'very good and other ideas?'
Bobby blurts out:
NO you're all wrong it's your FEET.
teacher says "bobby, don't be rude why in the world would you think it's your feet?"
Bobby says "cause last night when I walked past mommy and daddy's room to go to the bathroom mommy had her feet in the air, daddy was laying on top of her holding her down and she was going .... OH GOD I'M COMING!!!!!!!"
Jo-Admin 06-02-2003, 04:08 PM I am the queen of the big stupid sex explanation mistake...Check this out.
My daughter, age 6, asked me what a blow job was. I was shocked, and then being that she was the age she was, I grabbed her, held her down and blew on her tummy...like you do with little kids...and said, thats all it is. Okay, don't ask me why I did that.
A week later she comes home from school. I say "Have a good day at school sweetie?" and she says "Yeah! We had an extra recess today, and the whole time we chased the boys around trying to give them blow jobs."
What.....did....she.....say? *jaw drops to floor*
I was sure I was going to get a call from the school about how my daughter was running around the playground screaming....'I'M GONNA GET YA AND GIVE YA A BLOW JOB!!!" Oh, the HORROR of it all.
Of course, I did sit her down and explain what it was...and how she shouldn't say that at school. *sigh* She was mortified over what it really was, I was mortified I had not told the truth in the first place......
And that is my story.
Polly 06-02-2003, 08:31 PM I learned about sex walking hand-in-hand with my best friend to church school every Tuesday. It was a fifteen minute walk, and the whole way she'd describe how babies grow in your stomach and have to "jump around" to get food, how only women with long, black hair give blow jobs (her stepfather apparently had porno movies she peeked though the basement steps and saw a time or two) and how Catholic girls were big wh@res!!! :D Hey, don't blame me! Apparently her brother was dating Catholic girls from a local high school and they were pretty horny! I remember my friend and I used to peek through the keyhole of her brother's room and watch him make out with them. Then they'd hear us giggling and he'd come chasing after us - we'd run like HELL! :D
I could never imagine my mom and dad having sex. I was convinced my brother and I were adopted. Once, when I was about 10 or 11, a friend of mine spent the night with me and told me she heard my parents having sex. I said, "Nah ahhh!!!" She said, "Uh huh! The spring on their bed was creaking like this: 'creak-creak-creak-creak'!" I was like, "Oh my God! They really DO have sex!" That was the most nauseating thing I'd ever imagined. My parents were about the two most unattractive people in my mind.
When I was 12, my mom gave me those books "Where Do Babies Come From?" and there was another one, can't remember. I was so embarrassed! I read them and thought they were so lame. I had already learned everything from my porno-educated best friend! :D
I talked to my kids about sex when they were nine and 12. It was so funny, because I knew they were curious, but afraid to ask. I was very matter-of-fact about it, maybe throwing in a little joke here and there, but my son was uncomfortable anyway. My daughter was totally fine. I think when you talk to them about it personally and not expect them to get it all from the school nurse or friends, they will come to you later on when it's really important.
