Awkward sex talk with my kids.

[tripperfunster]

We 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!"

Classic moment. :)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

I had a feeling, reading his question that you probably should have asked how it came into his mind - just to be sure - but hey, we would have been robbed of this gem :D priceless <3

Yanno, if he had said WHAT is fellate instead of What does fellate mean? I might have caught on sooner.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Oh my gawd. Laughing forever here.....

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I had a good chuckle too!

[dickgloucester.livejournal.com]

*laughs* And now, of course, the whole school will know the whole meaning of "fellate" and you will be That Mother - if you aren't already, of course.

Kudos to you, however, for giving a straight answer to what seemed an honest question.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sure I'm already that mother! I would much rather they have the CORRECT information from me, than god only knows what they hear on the playground!

He actually asks questions like that quite often.

[kath-ballantyne.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. That's fantastic.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it was pretty funny!

[myriadprobold.livejournal.com]

Wow! That had me laughing. I hope my kids never get that interested in chemistry.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

He's in a stage where he's constantly looking at labels and ingredients. Half OCD and half just curiosity.

This always happens, doesn't it? We hear what we expect to hear. ;)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Well, in my defence, he HAS asked about sex toys and other such things before, so it wasn't COMPLETELY out of left field. It just seemed a bit apropos of nothing ...

[akatnamedeaster.livejournal.com]

Damn, if they ever find a way to add that to OJ, sales will go through the roof, and men will never leave their homes!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Now with 30% EXTRA FELLATE!

And I imagine when he's 16 he'll have a whole different view of penis suckage.....

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]
