So today was the day that Cameron my 5th grader saw
"The Film" <that is what he calls it >
"The Film" Was a film on puberty...
I was curious how he would react to it...
Since I already have a 24 old son I have already been through this so I wasn't quite as nervous about it...
So....I pick the kids up from school...And
Me: hey guys how was school
Cameron: Hum it was good we saw our film
Me: Oh yeah that was today wasn't it
Cameron:Yeah it was
Me:So how was it??
Cameron: oh it was ok they talked about our bodies how they would change...
Me: really did you learn anything new
Cameron: naugh not really just we will get hair on our bodies and about our penis...
Me: I chuckle...hum your penis huh...
Cameron:Yeah it will grow bigger and ejaculate...
Me: ... I see well how do you feel about that..
Cameron: It didn't bother me we saw it with just boys so it was ok...I'm hungry what's for supper<he says without missing a beat>
ME: I thought we stop and get some supper I have to go to work...
Whew that went good...I was wondering what questions he might have for me...I'm sure he will think about it and throw a question at me when I least expect it...
I looked over at my big 10 year old and all of a sudden he look a little older...different ...He is growing up...
Oh well it happens where there your ready or not

I think about the time I heard 'ejaculate' I would have spit coffee out my nose. ~Sie http://persnicketypfft.blogspot.com/
So now your 10 year old knows too. My 8 year old granddaughter asked me, "What's puberty" and her 10 year old sister said, "Natalie, you aren't supposed to talk about things like that." I said, "Puberty isn't a bad word; it just means your body is changing from a child's body to a woman's body."
The dreaded movie huh?! They don't show that anymore in the schools here in Connecticut. But, I remember seeing it and it was mortifying! But, we didn't know much back then, kids seem to know EVERYTHING now and days!
Hugs and love,
