You mean there are birds and bees involved? No wonder I was doing something wrong

Nope I missed that talk, and funny cuz mom asked me recently if she ever talked to me about that, and I flat out said 'No'. I think she has all these regrets, ever since dad passed away last year, so she's reviewing life and parenting. It's too late now since I'm 32. I told her this much, at least I didn't get pregnant and have a child out of wedlock. Sort of trying to ease her mind. I think she figured catholic school health/sex education was supposed to be enough. I learned by observing what other peeps have experienced, and due to basically being boy proofed for a most of life until recently, I didn't have to deal with much, but that doesn't mean I was perfect.

This was the sex talk in my house:

Picture it - North Carolina, 1984. I'm watching the most recent episdoe of Webster, an innocent enough activity for a 6th grader. My mom calls me into the other room and says "Watch this episode of Nova with me."

"What is it?" I ask.

"It's called 'The Miracle of Life.'"

We watch it, and I'm freaked out. I know all about this stuff, but mostly from staying up late and watching The Hitchhiker on HBO. I've just never had to ummm..."discuss" it with my mom in the room. The program ends, and I'm intrigued and confused.

Then she says to me, "Don't ever let that happen to you." Little did she know that reproducing would never be something she'd have to worry about from me. That was the sex talk.

Wow. That's. . .something.


My parents just answered questions honestly as they came up. Parents, if you want to turn your kids into ravenous sluts, apparently that's how to go about it.

Or, tell them how good vaginas feel! Not that I'm calling you a ravenous slut per se, Richard, but. . .
