Birds and the Bee's

So, my blog is about not only my life but my children, husband and other family member's as well. This story just happens to be about my son Samuel. Samuel is now 10 years old. A growing boy about 5'2".


A year or so ago I brought up the subject to my husband about the the birds and the bees. And how we needed to coordinate those important issues into our homeschool teachings. So we studied the human body all year long, planning to tie it all together with the BIG s..e..x..talk. The time came and I choked, I just couldn't do it. My sweet little baby boy growing up and I could not bring myself to talk to him about....(gulp)... it.

The other day the kids were playing Zoo Tycoon. Buying animals and making cages for them. I heard my 8 year old daughter say, "I have a male lion and a female lion and they will mate and make babies." So I asked my kids, do you know what the word "mate" means? They looked at me like I was seriously stupid. They responded, " Yeah, it's how animals make babies". I then asked, do you know how human babies are made? Both kids looked at each other and said, " No, that's disgusting and we don't ever want to know!" I think we can officially check the birds and the bee's off our list.
