But What Do They Do With Their Legs — Julia Sweeney at The Guardian
Let me freeze this scene for a moment and say that I considered myself an enlightened, open-minded, sex-is–no-big-deal parent, yet I hadn’t truly prepared myself for this conversation. I had read a few parenting books and they all seemed to advise the same thing, which was, when your child starts to ask you about sex, or really anything that is complicated and multifaceted, just answer the exact question they ask. Nothing more. Don’t elaborate. Don’t over-share.
You guize, this is beautifully hilarious.
Thank you, Red, for sharing this!
This was absolutely brilliant. A wonderful account of a mother attempting to tell their child about sex for the first time. A must read!
