Are you EVER ready for this??
Kiddo came to me last night and told me that his friend, Steven, had said to him "go have sex with yourself."
Beyond that, he had said "you should go have sex with your mom."
WHAT????
I asked him if he knew what "sex" meant....he said "making babies." Which, of course, is not inaccurate.
But still.....
I wasn't ready for this.
Of course, I told his teacher today, who told me that he'd let the principal handle such an issue.
Before he went to sleep last night, he asked, "Mom, what is sex?"
I told him we'd talk about it when we were both more awake.
Jesus.
He's only 8 years old. And he's the kind of kid who will share "new" information with anyone....thus, I'm quite scared to have the, um "talk" with him.
I told his dad it was time to have the "talk."
I sincerely hope that the Principal had a discussion with Steven's mom.
How do I explain this to such a bright child without him discussing it with everyone he knows?
Oh. My. Heavens.
Whatever universal forces are out there.
Help!
