A Proud Mama moment
:
A Sex Counselor's kid
The other night I was tucking Marcia into bed. She was in a pretty good mood and so was I since it wasnÃÂt too late at night for her to be going to bed and there was no arguing on her part or nagging on mine. (Parents? amiright??)
So there we were, sitting on her bed chatting and I say, ÃÂYou know Marcia. I never asked you how much you already knew about sex before you asked me that question.ÃÂ She said, ÃÂWell, I didnÃÂt really know anything so thatÃÂs why asked you.ÃÂ I laughed at that, such honesty. ÃÂGood point.ÃÂ Smile So I asked, ÃÂYou do know where babies come from, right?ÃÂ and she said seriously, ÃÂYeah. I know that the man puts his penis inside the womanÃÂs vagina when they have sex.ÃÂ I got the biggest smile on my face because of how she said it: she said it just very matter-of-factly, there was no giggling afterwards, there was no look of any embarrassment on her face when she said it to me whatsoever. I gave her the biggest hug and an IÃÂm-so-proud-of-you-squint y-s mile and said to her, ÃÂThat is absolutely correct. You used the anatomical terms and you said it so very confidently. YouÂre absolutely right. We had a couple moments of quiet, happy snuggling and then I said, sort of half giggling, ÃÂYou sound like the daughter of aÃÂ ÃÂ and she interrupted me, pulled away to look up at me and said ÃÂsex counselor?ÃÂ I get the biggest kick out of this kid.
Thank you for letting me share that. So IÃÂd like to ask: Do you have moments or anecdotes youÃÂd like to share? Moments of proud parenting where it comes to this topic? IÃÂm ready to listen to you too.
