The Birds and the Bees. A conversation with Adults?
72Some kids never grow up
This is a random mother daughter conversation, that resulted in unexpected answers, so the same converstion was asked from her son.
24 year old pregnant daughter and mother
.Mother: “Jaki, if at the age of four your son comes home and ask you about the birds and the bees, what will you say?”
Daughter: “ I would tell him they are very nice animals, and he should go talk to his science teacher”
Mother: “Well, what if your son is now seven years old, and he asks you ‘where do babies come from’?”
Daughter: “ I would tell him that when a man and a woman love each other, God gives them a gift, a baby”
Mother: “ Ok, now you son is eight and he asks ‘mommy, Tommy has two daddies, how did he become a gift?’”
Daughter: ”Son, his mommy went away on vacation after she got her gift.”
Mother: “Next day, your son comes home and says “mommy, Jane has two mommies, how come only one mommy got a gift‘?”
Daughter: “Well son, the other mommy was bad, and God did not give her a gift.”
Mother: “What if at nine, your son asks you ‘what is sex’?”
Daughter: “Sex is a bad word. You are not allowed to say that word until you are 18, and if you ever think about it before you‘re 18, your wee-wee is going to fall off.”
Mother: “ Now older and wiser, what if at ten, your son tells you that he loves Mary, and wants to know when God is going to give them a gift?”
Daughter: “I’m going to tell him to go talk to his uncle.”
Mother: “Now he’s eighteen, and tells you he got a girl pregnant”?
Daughter: “Looks like we’ll have to invite her parents over for dinner.”
Same conversation with 30 year old son.
Mother: “Rob, if at the age of four your son comes home and ask you about the birds and the bees, what will you say?”
Son: “I would say that birds fly, and bees make honey, and if you touch their honey, they will sting you.”
Mother: “Well, what if your son is now seven years old, and he asks you ‘where do babies come from’?”
Son: “I would say they come from mommies, go talk to her.”
Mother: “ Ok, now you son is eight and he asks ‘daddy, Tommy has two daddies, where did he come from’?”
Son: “I would say, that there was a mommy at one time, she had a baby, and then she moved to Michigan to go make more babies.”
Mother: “Next day, your son comes home and says “daddy, Jane has two mommies, how come she doesn‘t have a sister‘?”
Son: “Her other mother can’t have babies because she is too fat.”
Mother: “What if at nine, your son asks you ‘what is sex’?”
Son: “I’m a little busy, go ask your mother.”
Mother: “ Now older and wiser, what if at ten, your son tells you that he loves Mary, and wants to know when he is going to have a baby?”
Son: “You are not going to have a baby until you are in your twenties.”
Mother: “Now he’s eighteen, and tells you he got a girl pregnant”?
Son: “We’ll be planning a wedding, dam it.”

Hmmm, you just gave a good reason for sex ed in schools.
ralwus, given the ever increasing charges of pedophilia in the public school system I don't think sex should ever be mentioned there. Jiberish, I don't quite know what to say either, but I did laugh!
Texan, yeah, it's everywhere ain't it? Church too and next we'll here about it in, well, I reckon Pages in Congress have already told that.
I try not to think about Congress and sex at the same time it kinda makes for bad feelings. As far as Church, I don't attend I think you can be religious at home, but you are correct it happens there too!
Amazing. Sex hasn't changed in the entire history of mankind (and womankind). The birds and the bees are still doing their same old birds and bees things. And parents are still struggling to explain to their kids -- in age-appropriate terms -- concepts that are uncomfortable (to say the least). This hub definitely proves that kids say the darndest things! MM
It is amazing. The more things change the more they say the same.
It raised in me a smile 'a rye one perhaps' as to how things change (Smireles)not a bit, but same old, same old I think. thanks for raising my smile
Thanks...that was funny. I told my kids the truth from the first time they asked. They rarely did. I have always been able to talk to them about anything.
Hi Jiberish,
I enjoyed reading this hub, it is amazing at times on what repsonses come out of our children. I am going to join your fan club :)
