Hahahaha! Love it! So funny Mishi. Of course for me, “The Talk” (x 2) was not recent enough to remember in detail, let alone the baby-making itself teehee! Funnily enough, I do remember RECEIVING The Talk when I walked in on Mum and Dad (under the covers but my suspicions were raised and I asked the “Why are you laughing? What were you doing?” questions, which gave Mum an in for The Talk.)
My Mum loved talking about sex, as it happened – she had to be banned from sharing Too Much Information when I got older – so she told me how it is, straight up, I said, “Right”, and that was that squared away. When my turn came to pass on The Information, I just followed her lead and told it how it is, straight up, and they both said, “Right”, and that was that, squared away. Is that Gwenth Paltrow-like? In that case, I’d better go.
Before I do, let me just add that, unlike my mother, I have not offered up any Instructional Information, nor will I!
I adore you, Mari!
You’re the coolest Mum and it shows – your teenage/adult kids are your mates
I hope my kids will feel the same about me when they’re big and smelly.
And no, you are decidedly NOT Gwyneth Paltrow-like. And thank heavens for that.
:-*
Now that was hysterical!!!! I needed a good laugh … and now I know how best to approach this with Coops … in 10 years time (hopefully!)
Oh, he will get you when you’re least suspecting it.
Loved it Michelle! Especially the picture on a sac and sperm shooting out. you’re awesome! I question would your story change with BabyG??? For advice on this talk with girls?? I’m sure Myas is coming up as we have spoken about eggs in our Tummys that she is proud to have some how found out that they already exist in her tummy at 5! But not really asked yet about daddy’s role!! But it’s coming!
I had the question too from my daughter.
Can’t remember how my sons came about. To be honest I think I deflected to dad. Haha.
My son had just walked in the room when Fairy asked the question he replied with: “didn’t you know?
We learned in school that the rooster bites the chicken on the back of her neck and then inserts his sperm”
Fairy was horrified.: “Dad bites mom on the neck?”
How I recovered from this lot I can’t remember fully but I do remember mentioning love helping a very tiny fairy on route to my tummy.
😉
I liltraely jumped out of my chair and danced after reading this!
Died laughing! Brilliant!
This is hilarious!! I love it! From the vantage point of “mine-are-all-grown-up”, I can enjoy the humor!
Personally? I trapped my daughter on a long car ride and told her the whole thing from start to finish while her face was plastered to the window. She still talks about the trauma.
My husband took our two sons to the top of a mountain to get them nice and tired, handed out sandwiches and launched into the lecture. When I asked my youngest boy if he had learned anything, he said, “Sadly, yes.”
“sadly, yes” – LOVE it.
That ‘s the funniest thing I ever read.. *LOL* Well done Mish! ♥
awkward moments
BWAAAAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAAAAAA HAHAHAHAAA HAHA HAAAAA OMG OMG I LOVE YOU!
Michelle – I am laughing out loud! Oh so so so funny! I think you have inspired me to write a post about when I first had that conversation with my daughter. Let’s suffice it to say that her girlfriend’s teenage brother gave her some misinformation that I needed to correct!
Lol..
