Oh god, where to start. Most recent ones are actually with my 10 year old daughter.
DD - conversation about sex, prompted by the infernal book "what's happening to me".
- mummy, boys bleed too don't they?
- no darling, what gave you that idea?
- well it says in my book that the blood rushes to the penis and then it comes out...
Yes, best to be explicitly clear when explaining ejaculations Usborne...
And the other one, which I tell not knowing whether to laugh or cry, talking about the actual deed itself.
Me - it's not just done to have babies, when you're old enough, a grown up and you're with someone you love and trust it is something really lovely to do.
DD -urrgh, I'm not sure I'll enjoy that. Can I try it out with Daddy to see if I like it?
Me - no, it's not something you do with daddy, or your brother
DD - well I love daddy, and you said it needed to be with someone I loved and trusted...
Mental note that she's clearly not quite ready for conversations going into that much detail. DH was mortified.
