Shattered Sun

Wow. I had a talk with my 9 year old yesterday about sex. Ironically, I wasn’t flustered or even embarrassed. I was, however, caught off guard. He was taking a shower with Zack and we got on the subject of seeing girls nekkid. I think it was because Zack was asking why he can’t take a shower with me. Anyway, then Sam goes off on this whole thing about how guys don’t need to see girls nekkid unless they’re having sex. I’m like, sure, that works. Of course, I told them that they’d better not have sex until they’re adults. To which Sam says, “Or when we’re teenagers. My friend said that you can have sex when you’re a teenager.” At this point, I’m thinking yeah, that’s true but what exactly do I say to that!? So I told him that yes, he will probably have sex when he’s a teenager, but he had better not have a baby when he’s a teenager. He told me that we had him when we were teenagers. I said, “Yeah, but we were way too young and you don’t want to do that.” He agreed and told me that he’d try not to have any babies before he was 19. I’m thinking… Okay. :tired:

And that was that. I came out of the bathroom and told Jayson what happened and he laughed it up. Not that I can blame him! It’s just a wee bit odd to me that I had my first sex conversation with Sam when he’s 9! Who knew?
