The topic of “The Birds and the Bees” is a never-ending source of entertainment for any parent. You might remember this funny post we ran on this topic a few months ago. Today’s blogger and loyal reader, Carrie, offers her take on this subject with her second-grade son. The following conversation happened this past summer at the pool. Let us know if you can relate!

From Carrie:
As my son, Alex, and I are watching a mosquito fly by us at the pool he says: “Mommy is that a girl mosquito?”
Me: “I don’t know.”
Alex: “Well only the girl ones sting you know.”
Me: “Really, I did not know that.” (Is that really true? I have no idea!)
Alex: “Do mosquitos mate?”
Me: “Yeah of course, all animals mate.”
Alex: “Well not people though.”
Me: “Yep, people too.” (In my head: “Oh crap, did I really just say that?”)
Alex: “No I don’t think so, Mommy, ’cause the boy one has to fertilize the egg.”
(Oh no how did this conversation turn so quickly…how can I save myself now?)
Me: “Well, maybe you’re right”
Alex: “Yeah, ’cause I don’t think men have fertilizer!”
