lol! That was unexpected. I really don't understand the reaction of the students. I mean... after the surprise/shock, no one laughs!


Maybe because the point of the commercial was that teaching sex-ed in such a way would just be stupid and leave the students utterly unimpressed?

Oh, it went. I was in the other room when I heard Joph Jr. asking Flea how babies were made (apparently, they were discussing that it needed a mother and a father and the woman could not just spontaneously reproduce) and Flea gave him some explanation like "Well, the mother is like the dirt and the father is like the seed..." to which Joph Jr. said "That's how they'd tell me if I was in church. How does it really happen?"

I figured if he was old enough to demand the full story, I'd give it to him. So, aided with the chapter on reproduction in the Big Book of Knowledge, I sat down and gave him the clinical once-over. He thought it was completely disgusting and I told him that was fine since he was a kid and was supposed to think it was disgusting. Then he asked "What if a boy and a girl were together and did that and the girl got pregnant and then they broke up and I married the girl and she had the baby. Could that happen?" I said that it conceivably could happen and he said "Ok, I want to do that then. I don't want to do that sex thing."

I can't help but go "awww, he's so cute" and laugh uncontrollably at the same time when I read this. Smiley: laugh

How does it really happen?"

This was maybe about the third time he'd brought it up to me, and every time he wouldn't get too deep into it, pretty much ask how long it took and whether or not a man could have one, and then he'd drop it, so I thought that would be it this time as well. However, he did say that his mom made him all by herself, and I said that his mom and dad each had half of what it took to make him, and that neither could have made a baby by themselves. He asked what his father gave, and, since he had recently brought a seed home to try to get it to sprout, the plant thing came to mind because I was trying to avoid being graphic. Once he made the church comment, though, I had to laugh and I told him we'd ask his dad when he got out of the shower. He left the room, and when Joph came in I was telling him about it and we both kind of laughed it off, then we heard a voice from the hallway--

"Are you gonna tell me how babies are made or NOT?"
Smiley: laugh

Guess he got curious enough.

I wasn't even there for it. While I do assume many parenting-type duties, I let Joph take the lead on the biggies. I would hate to say something that didn't agree with his take on things.

I have to say, though, the whole thing (the fact that Joph used visual aids, the fact that Jr. was so analytically persistent)was infinitely endearing.

Nah, not really. He giggled a few times but it was a pretty short conversation.

Reminds me of a story related to me by a friend I had for a while shortly after high school.

He was generally proud of the fact that his parents, even after 25 years of marriage, tended to behave like newlyweds. However, he didn't want the gory details.

One day when he was about 16, he and his twin brother were in the back seat of the car, his mom was in the passenger seat, and his 20 year old older sister was driving. The older sister then, apropos of nothing, asked their mother, "So, when was the last time Hurricane Charlie set upon your shores?" (their father's name being Charles.)

That wasn't the traumatic part, according to him. The traumatic part was when their mom, by way of response, looked at her watch.
