Hi Shellyville,

How old do you have to be to know about sex? I ask this question because it turns out my cute and adorable 8 year old knows what it is. How does he know? He sweet and adorable older sister told him.

What is even funnier is that I swear I had this long conversation with Savanna a couple years ago. She had this description of the boy using his hot dog and adding it to the girls honey sandwich.

Honestly, it was a conversation that was one of those moments, you just know you are a parent.

I did my best not to die laughing and we had the long talk about the birds & the bees...and honey. Yeah, I am sure I was honest and all. What is so ironic is that we think our kids don't know and they do. They see, hear and listen to music.

Jackson told us this morning at breakfast with a super big smile that he knows what sex is. So we asked and he said "it is when a girl and boy take their private parts and rub them together"..."That is so gross" he added. Brian and I just looked at each other and said, yep, that is all you need to know at age 8.

I'm not shocked, but surprised. I wanted Jackson to be innocent forever, but I know that is not realistic. Oh well I only have 2 more years before he gets the real sex-ed talk in school. I can wait!

So how early where you when you figured out the birds and the bees? Did you have older siblings that spilled the beans or did you pick it up from friends? Just wondering...
