Sunday dinner, me and #2-5.
#2 asks an intelligent question about AIDS in third world countries that requires the use of the word condom in my answer.
#5: What’s a condom?
#2: Oh God.
#3: NOOOOO!
Me: Well. . .
In unison, #2, #3, and #4 drop their forks, put their hands over their ears, close their eyes and start going , “LALALALALALALA!”
Me, looking at #5: When people have sex
#5, interrupting: Stop talking. Stop talking NOW.
Here’s another time I answered an awkward question from #5 (though this time he let me finish).
I have a Facebook page. If you Like it, you can get treated to such deep insights as this:
#5: I think I’m double jointed somewhere because I can lick my neck.

I think you should just randomly say ‘condom’ to keep things interesting. I use ‘tampons’. Mine leave the room when I say it. Works everytime.
Which makes sense, being that you’re outnumbered by the family jewels. “Tampons” doesn’t work in my house, but I’m gonna keep after the condom angle.
LOL
I love the : stop talking. stop talking NOW
when you started on about sex.
hee hee
I remember those conversations whe my boys were growing up..I just used a whole bunch of specific big words terminology LOL
Yes, kids always seem to listen when you’re saying something controversial.
and when you’re saying something secret.
I love the shock value in throwing out words like that.
I just want you to know that I am writing everything down in a notebook called ways to embarrass the hell out of my kids.
Excellent. I’d say my work here is done, but. . . clearly, it isn’t.
You’ve made me think with this one. I wonder how our kids will react to this sort of thing?
We’ll find out, I guess! 😀
Nothing like melding cultures for entertainment!
Boy, I bet you’re going to have some stories. I look forward to them!
My poor soon used to look infinitely uncomfortable whenever commercials for feminine hygeine products came on. I felt so sorry for him!
Now with ads about “erectile dysfunction,” I see that we have progressed to equal opportunity embarressment…or does that just make boys embarressed too? Probably!
