and how do you get one?

Oh Boy!
This is what I was thinking.....

It begins with a soft sensual nibble and if the passion is just right and you and your partner are OH SO HOT it can turn into this oh so awesome feeling bite...
But it leaves a horrible mark, so you want to make sure hickey (s) are given in places on the body that are not visible or you can hide with clothing. A HICKEY ON THE NECK IS A NO-NO....NOT pretty.

BUT,

Instead I told her they are bites that grown ups give when they play with each other. They look tacky and they ARE ONLY FOR THE ADULTS! Avoid at all times, they can cause cancer...

She gave me this "I'm gonna throw up" look.....
I asked her why she asked.....she said her teacher had one....




had to post, couldnt help it....

You did not really tell her it would give her cancer did you?

As for her teacher

AndGodCreatedMe said:

YES I did....
Well, her teacher has a right to get her freak on too...but she needs to be more careful...

amorbella said:

I understand your worry but using cancer is a bit harsh don't you think?
Without knowing how old your daughter is I would say why not be honest with her?

In her own words for age ofcourse.

AndGodCreatedMe said:

actually,

I was as honest as I can be with her. When she is a bit older I will talk to her more about the whole love bite thing. For right now I want to put water on the fire before it even happens.I kind of wanted to scare her. Kids are starting to do things way too young these days. My parenting skills are not perfect. But I usually get the job done.

ps,
Im not trying to offend anyone by using cancer as an outlet...

Cancer?

I'd tell me son straight up what it was and what causes it. I feel no reason to lie about things like this.

When ours asked - I simply gave myself one on my arm and showed /explained it to them

Mach said:

my son never asked me but I think that's a normal reaction.

JustErin said:

Sometimes its better to put some "icing on it" for my blondie.....
Again,
everyone has their ways of telling their kids about certain things..
This is easy compared to things to come. And thats when I will have to be brutally honest with her.

Mach said:

um no....

I wonder if she's going to ask her teacher if she has Cancer?

ThreadCula said:

that's what I was thinking... that and she should have used that first description...

RenHoek said:

Nawh, so wont she will just brush it off..

and NO...

The first description....umm...well....No...

My sister and I used to give each other hickeys all the time when we were - not on necks or anything, we didn't know LOVERS did it to each other, we'd chase each other, grab an arm and suck until it went red while the other screamed and thrashed around. The master used to do it to me too, until once I gave him one on the forehead I'd explain it to my kids along these terms, like playfighting with the intent to leave a mark, and it's a mean thing to do.

amorbella said:

Hey I agree with what you said...there was this thing on tv....some little kids were tested to see how they would react when a stranger lures them with candy and tries to take them away to their car. Out of all the kids one said no...and that was because his mom told him not to trust strangers because they might kill him. So kudos to her. We have to scare kids to protect them.

When I was a teenager I used to get hickey's from my boy friends

Usually around the neck and I would wear a turtle neck sweater or a scarf the next day so no one could see the next day at school

Thank gawd my mother never saw them

peacenlovealways said:

I'm with you there. I do use scare tactics on the big stuff, after all, I'm only giving her a 'worst case scenario'.

Not sure I'd have gone with the cancer thing though

WTF!!

I think I would have just said they were bruises from when adults were playing

wildgoldenhoney said:

and it was some weird shape too, like a triangle

ZombieKitten said:

he sat by and let you suck on his fo'head?

peacenlovealways said:

except that a stranger very well may kill a child, especially if that stranger is trying to abduct the child. Hickeys never have and never will cause cancer.

it's better to explain it early than to end up like me when i was a kid, and learn that if you hold the vacuum tube to your arm or even just suck on your arm long enough, you get a cool purple bruise. and you can put one anywhere you have skin!

yeah, sounds freaky to adults, but when you're 6 years old it's the coolest thing ever.

I was sitting on top of him and he was laughing so much from what I was saying he went all weak and floppy I could've done anything to him!

JasmineFire said:

yeah...

ZombieKitten said:

awww well that sounds cute then!

thekidsgirl said:

but he had to go to work with a triangle shape it looked like aliens marked him for further probing

Me love hickeys!
