Hellobee Boards

Hmmm. I'm not sure I cared! Although when I was itsy bitsy I thought the stork brought them.

p.s. loved judy blume!!

@Rock n Roll: your friend had an answer for everything!!

I don't remember because my mom had the sex talk with me when I was relatively young, maybe 7. However, she should have had it when I was younger, because I remember being very, very confused by a lot of things she talked to me about. And really grossed out by the sex ed classes I had! I wasn't allowed to read Judy Blume and none of my friends knew about sex yet, so I didn't quite understand it. It's kind of a lucky thing that I didn't go out and experiment because I really did NOT understand!

I plan on dealing with the topic at a young age with our children in a matter of fact way. I prefer to not beat around the bush or be vague about the topic or refer to your sex organs as "pee pees". Ugh.

@lemondrop: Same here. When you grow up on a farm, you just figure it out. The first time I caught animals in the act, I asked my mom, she explained it, and that was that. I was never confused,
And sometimes I forget that so many people have never experienced an animal giving birth. I count myself lucky that I spent many years helping cows, pigs, goats, etc. give birth. It was really exciting and it's probably not that common for a young child to know what things like afterbirth looks like first hand.

Wow, some of you bees have really upfront parents. Funny enough i remember asking my parents where babies came from, and they BOTH told me they came form God. I asked for more clarification but that was all i got!
I eventually conculuded that God must have shown up in the middle of the night, opened up my mum's belly and put the baby in there. I asked them if i was right and they both said Yes!
The truth finally prevailed in the 7th grade tho, thank God i paid attention in Sex Ed class, i could have gone around thinking Guys had nothing to do with getting pregnant.
