The other evening before bedtime my seven-year old son, Ronin, came up to his dad and asked, "Hey Dad, what is sex?"
Thrown back a little by the question, Jed asked, "Where did you hear about that?"
Ronin simply replied, "The neighbor boy told me about it."
Jed: "Well, what did he say sex was?"
(Truthfully, at this point I was thinking "oh, crap" and was worried about what his response would be....I definately didn't want our son learning about all this from another kid. I thought we would have a little bit more time before he would be hearing about this.)
Ronin simply said, "Kissing a lot." (Whew! That was close!)
Jed: "Well, that's part of it, but we'll talk about it later because it's time to go to bed."
Ronin: "Don't forget, ok, dad?"
Five minutes later we hear him call out from his bedroom....."Promise you won't forget?"
Jed: "I promise."
Jed says it's my turn to do the talking.
