I thought I'd share a conversation I had with Xavier the other day about sex and body changes during puberty and of course, more sex questions. Because of my status as a dirty breeder, these questions have been popping up like mad the past few months. Zavi has already had the "Talk", in detail on what sex is, brought on by his insationable curiosity about my bulging stomach.(He's debating on adoption right now because he thinks its really gross) Yesterday we entered the realm of puberty along with other questions. I'm finding the more you're asked, the more blase you get about it. At the same time it's pissing me off I'm the one constantly fielding the questions while the Mr hears about them later and laughs his *** off. So the other days convo went like this:
We're throwing on our swimsuits to go to the community pool when Xavier says:
Mom, you know how you and dad have hair in your front? (meaning da pubes)
Yeah?
Do you have hair in the back too?
Nope.
Oh. Will I get hair in the front like you and dad?
When you start going through puberty and your body starts changing from a boy to a man, yes, you'll get hair too. Everyone does.
Oh.... Mom?
Yeah?
You know these two circles under my *****?
You mean your balls?
They look like little balls.
Yes, hon, those are called your balls.
Do you have balls?
Nope. Only boys and men do. Women have other parts.
oh. So do my balls make the hair? (I'm trying soo hard not to laugh at this point)
Nope, but you'll get hair in that area too. Your balls are the part that create and hold the sperm.
Oh... that's what comes from men to make babies right?
Right.
So when you have sex the sperm comes from there?
Originally yes.
So once I'm making sperm to make babies, how many babies can I make?
Well for men, they can make as many babies as they want. There is no limit.
And what about women?
Women can only make babies about once a month
Why?
Because once a month a woman's body allows one of their eggs to release. So only once a month can a woman make a baby if they wanted.
So when you and dad had sex to make Soren, your egg was released?
Yes.
Mom.... did you KNOW you had let an egg go????
uhhhh.... nope.
Oh! So THAT'S why you keep calling Soren your surprise baby!
......
I'm scared to death of the questions he's going to ask me when he's older, if he's already asking these now at 7
