I didn’t realise that sex education started at three years of age. Still, I think I did alright.
It all came about in relation to a previous entry (Number twos). I decided to test the waters again with our toddler, see where his views about the subject were currently sitting. The conversation went like this:
Me: “Do you think Mum and Dad should have a baby?”
Him: “Yep. How do you make a little sister?” (this is clearly his preference at present and questions about a baby brother result in a look of bewilderment)
Me: “Well…Dad has to put his penis into my vagina.” Done. Told as it is.
Me again: “How does that sound?”
Him: “Yep. Okay.”, as though this was merely confirmation of existing knowledge about reproduction.
There were no more questions and there have been none since. I guess it just made sense.
