Having established he found out about them on the Internet I made a mental note to check parental controls I stammered my way through a child friendly explanation, whilst his horror visibly increased, as did my own trauma.

He then asked about the duck ones his father had brought home a while ago.

Turns out he was thinking about Stress toys.

We have agreed to Brain bleach and never speak of this again.

I wish I still drank.

I cannot tell my several tales of this happening to me in the course of parenting my DD and DS who are now both adults. Not helped by them having a father who doesn't do any sot of discussion involving personal bits and emotions.
Sufficient to say, if he tells you he's wet the bed when he's 13, check he's not meaning that he fell asleep with a drink before launching into 'Wet Dreams 101.'

One of the boys at ds birthday party when he was about 10 told all the other boys about X mums shaking willy that they found at another birthday party they had been to the week before and asked if I had one they could play with

You mentioned Tickling!Shock Please tell me what you said Honey. Please. Grin Grin Grin

Eyesunderarock · 06/08/2013 17:41

He's an Aspie, there is no forgive. Grin
Merely irrelevant and unwanted knowledge being forced on him by an open 'You can tell me anything darling' mother. Blush

Bloody Hell Noddy. That would have me leaving the country.

Did he think to ask you how you know what a sex toy is?

SevenReasonsToSmile · 06/08/2013 17:47

Thanks OP, I've had a stressful few weeks, I haven't laughed so much in ages

Mrsrobertduvall · 06/08/2013 17:48

Did you produce one noddy for a particular interesting party game?

Pass the prick anyone?

Eyesunderarock · 06/08/2013 17:52

I think it's the way that it slowly dawns on you that you've really not understood, and they are staring at you....and you just can't stop.
You bumble your way haphazardly to the end of the monologue and then there is silence whilst they are still staring at you.
And in your head there is a little voice going ohfuckohfuckohfuck.

noddyholder · 06/08/2013 17:53

Grin No! interestingly the woman in question was always the most straight laced and reserved in the playground! I never told her poor thing.

Yes, his "tentacles" were hurting.

Although testicle hunting conjures up some bizarre Elmer Fudd images

Just read this out to dh and after we had both recovered from our fits of laughter, he did say that asking the question "And what makes you ask that?" should always precede any lengthy explanations about sex or bodily functions :)

IamtheZombie · 06/08/2013 20:36

Honey, perhaps the next time DS asks an awkward question you should tell him to ask his Auntie Zombie. That should at least buy you a bit of thinking time. Grin
