I have tried five times to write this out and thought it sounded weird, wrong, dodgy or sensationalist!
The mum of one of dd1's schoolfriends stopped me on the school walk and showed me a card she had given him.
The outside was innocuous, just a drawing of them both and 'friends' written underneath...
then I opened it and she had drawn two people 'having sex' and written something like 'me and you will be having sex' or something equally un poetic.
(the male had a stick willy pointing out, the woman had an O and they were hugging... bear in mind the basic element of an 8yo's artistry)
Thankfully the boy's mum laughed and was fine about it, but equally she could have been really shocked about it and made a fuss!
I was completely on the back foot.
DD1 is quite 'young' for her age really, she still likes CBeebies along with CBBC and hangs on determinedly to her old toys/habits. Her TV viewing is generally Boomerang or Doctor Who which though scary in parts tends to lay off the sex thing.
It didn't help my desire to have a quiet reasoned talk when she flat out said "I didn't do ANYTHING"
Then like getting blood from a stone, very gradually, admitted that she'd drawn the picture but "Not the writing" (IN HER WRITING!)
she was stubborn as anything even though I said I was not going to tell her off at all.
I left it at saying "Draw what you like at home, but don't give them to people at school because it's inappropriate and you might upset somebody"
Still unsure as to whether I made a complete tits of the whole thing I'm sure I was too forceful, or not forceful enough, or bombastic, or something. I just DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO not been in this before!!
