On the way home from the Y today stickybear asked ishaa why someone would have a baby if they didn't want it. ishaa replied that sometimes people don't intend to have babies, and that he would give him a book, Where Did I Come From, when they got home. (This is the book that ishaa read when he was growing up; we grabbed it from his parents' house over Christmas

Um, sorry. But that is just too funny. Except that I'm going to have to go through it eventually, which makes it just a little bit less funny. At least we've already covered the hurdle of exactly where the baby comes out when it's born. We watched a nice little video entitled The Miracle of Life. That pretty much had him speechless for a couple of hours as he tried to wrap him mind around that concept.

No, I know it's hilarious. BUT STILL.

I think we saw the miracle of life in religion class in high school. Some of the girls were *still* freaked out. Oh, and the birth scene? I thought it was a nice, quiet, uneventful birth scene. Everyone else was half traumatized. Methinks they are in for a rude awakening.

LMAO Oh I know! The woman giving birth was all quiet and totally unemotional. On the other hand, I was screaming, sweating, and threatening bodily harm to nurses, doctors, and The Sperm Donor. I actually grabbed a nurse by the collar and told her if she told me "one more push" one more time I was going to punch her.

P.S. Pssst . . . He knows! Bwahahahahaha!

*snicker too* Better he learns it from that than from a Silhouette romance novel.
I thought sex was the oddest, most boring thing that people did to avoid conversation when I first read that book...

[qwyneth]

Hahahahahahahaha! That's hilarious!

I have to admit that my first reaction to that book, when Shakati first brought it home, was "Wait, what? We're going to give this to our kids?" They took it a lot more calmly than I did :-).

[qwyneth]

Lol! Yeah, stickybear was totally chill with it, and read us passages about the various fibs other kids were told (stork, etc). I am completely the only one freaking out here.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that societal moral judgement of sexuality comes down far more heavily on women than on men.

This gave me a good chuckle.

At the same time, though, it reminded me how you have just grown leaps and bounds and it's amazing! I remember when my mom had to explain sex to me, because after watching Look Who's Talking I was convinced sperm was transferred through kissing and that's how you got pregnant. Apparently Nick thought the same thing b/c of the same movie growing up :)

Maybe he'll think you don't do it because you haven't popped any babies out (yet)? :D

When I was younger, my mom made us watch this really... factual... biological documentary, and as my sister and I were both avid preteen trekkies, when certain fluids rushed around in the male's body, I calmly proclaimed "yellow alert!".

Kids take these things in way more stride than we adults do sometimes :)
