Impromptu birds & bees talk ended with my son comparing testicles to Transformers, so I guess that went well.

My 6 year old asked where babies came from.

I told him the truth.

While I was sitting and basking in my pride at being an Honest Mom, he just stared before saying: “I wasn’t expecting that. That was inappropriate.”

Then: “DID THE DOCTORS WATCH YOU DO IT”

I shoulda lied.

Had the sex talk with my daughter and used the term “heavy petting.” She hasn’t spoken to me since then.

It was 12 years ago.

Using toys to explain the birds & the bees to your kids seems clever unless the toys are Transformers because the logistics get complicated.

If you want your kids to leave you alone, just start giving them the sex talk.

I always thought having a toddler was the hardest part of parenting and then I had the sex talk with my teen.

We had to have the sex talk with 10 today.

So obviously I'll be avoiding eye contact with him the rest of the day.

[After my wife explains to our kids where babies come from]

ME: That’s wild.

WIFE: …You knew this.

ME: I know but you get used to it... When you actually think about it again it’s absolutely insane.

Parenting Pro Tip: when giving your kids the sex talk, visual aids and demonstrations are NOT as helpful as it may seem

Me: Time to talk about the birds and the bees

Son: I'd rather get poop on my head

Daughter: I'd rather get stung a million times

Me: wait, you know it's not really about... *kids run away*
