Birds and the Bees
At dinner the other night Miss 8 piped up "Mum, when am I going to get THE TALK?", I wasn't sure I'd heard her right so I asked her to repeat what she'd said.  To which she answered "Nothing".
The next night same thing, "Mum when will I get "THE TALK?"
Again she said nothing when I asked "Pardon!"

So two nights later I asked her what she meant when she asked the question ... and she answered that her friends at school (who are older) told her when you turn 10 you get THE TALK from your parents.
I stiffled a smile and asked her what she thought the TALK was about.
To which she answered "How We Make Babies".  I told her she was partially right, but there was alot more to it than that.
She asked me when she would have the TALK and would she need to wait until she was 10.
"Hmmm, no, I don't think so," I replied.

After she'd gone to bed that evening I sat and thought about it - I was blown away that at 8 years old she is asking about THE TALK - mind you I never called it that, I think we called it the Birds and the Bees talk - Not sure why.  But I've decided I need to give her the 8 year old version of the Talk - because I don't want her getting the second hand version of the 10 year old talk from her friends at school.

Wish me Luck

My mom had the policy that if you were old enough to ask the question you were old enough to get the answer...I got "The Talk" at 7 when my older cousin got pregnant. lol

Want a laugh:
My mother decided to give me the sex part of THE TALK...my father did more the responsibility and drugs nd drinking part, mainly I think because Mom was a little more comfortable saying the word "sex" than my father is...
any way I am not sure how comfortable mom was either, as the talk consisted of her walking in while I was watching TV in their bedroom...grow up w/ all those brothers and sister and you not only want to get away because they are noisy but because you want to watch something other than kiddie shows at 13 or so...
Any way I was in their room on their bed watching TV sitting at the end...my mother walks in, asks me to turn off the set, which i do...
She looks at me and asks"Do you have any questions about what me and dad do in here?"(...trust me since I have become older I have wanted that chance back, the funny lines I have thought of since...)I said no, she said ok and walked out after saying if I did she was ready to answer...
