hat reminds me of when my son was 9yo. I'm another one who thinks that kids should know proper terms and how things work. He understood about the sperm and egg creating the baby but he asked me, "How does the sperm get to the egg?" I replied very clinically, "The man inserts his penis into the women's vagina." My poor son had the most horrified expression on his face and said, "I'm NEVER doing that!" I told him to come back in 10 years and tell me the same thing after I picked myself off the floor laughing.

I remember when I was getting the "where babies come from" talk from my mother. To give a little background, I remember this conversation from sometime in my 9th year, so at that time, I would have had three younger brothers. And bathrooms are just not private places when there are that many children!
When mom got to the "penis in the vagina" part of the conversation, I was utterly appalled. (I had seen the drip-dry method of clean-up used by my brothers after visiting the toilet). I, however, told my mother I was never allowing that because it was "too unsanitary"!
I remember a choked response that I would change my mind when I was older. My mother doesn't remember the conversation at all!
