Movie = Talk

Jesse watched "The Movie" at school today.  So that meant we had to have "The Talk" when he got home today.  Brandy, Dad, and I did it together so that Dad couldn’t get away with the redneck "go watch them dogs over there" explanation.  

We kept it pretty light.  He really had no interest in it.  I told him some about hormones and changes and that just because you can make a baby doesn’t mean you should.  We didn’t go into the mechanics of sex, but when he asked how the sperm got to the egg I told him that’s sex and told him a little bit.  No gory details. 

I’m not real sure that a boy wants sex ed from his sister, but I did tell him I’m here if he has questions.  I told him please if he learns something from the kids at school to come ask me.  I would tell him the truth when he asked.

Dad did impress me though.  He very clearly said that no means no and he’d damn sure lose that thing if it was forced on anybody.  I don’t believe that Jesse has that kind of maliciousness in him, but it still has to be said.

Jesse’s questions were only about hair though.  I think we got off way to easily.  I have a feeling when he really gets to wondering I’m so gonna get some questions that could make me blush.

I think my Momma is still laughing her ass off right now.
