tripperfunsterWe stop on our way home from school for a snack at the local convenience store. As we're getting in the car, my 11yo asks: "Mom, what does 'fellate' mean?"
I'm a pretty forward thinking mom, but I've got to admit, that this kind of caught me off guard. It was kind of out of left field, but I did my best to explain.
"Well, do you know what a blow job is?"
"Is that something a prostitute would do?"
"Well, yeah, it's one thing that a prostitute could do, but it's also something that people in a loving, committed relationship could do. It's when someone sucks on your penis."
"Ew!!! Yuck"
I shrug, hoping that I satisfied his curiosity. Except then he says; "Well, how come it's in my orange juice?" I look at the bottle and see where he's pointing.
FOLATE. He was asking about FOLATE.
Ahaha! "Well, that is something COMPLETELY different! Whoops!"
