Vogeltjes and Avejas

In our mangled spang-lis-utch family tongue, that can be interpreted as "birds and bees."  

We had a little lesson today courtesy of some (rotten) kid on the school bus who explained (sparing no detail) some of the events that may occur within the private confines of a married couple's doors.  Sterling didn't believe it (and was asking for verification) and Winter was in tears because Sterling was telling me this (she had told him after she heard it from some girl on the bus and thought she would get in trouble.)  Anyhoo, the proverbial gato is out of the bag around here and a few years earlier than I might have predicted too.  Sterling seemed satisfied when I told him that one could do that if one wanted to (when married) but that they were certainly not obliged to do so.  They also were very attentive to the rule which was reiterated (because it seemed appropriate to do so) that nobody is ever allowed to touch their parts and they are not allowed to touch the parts of others.


Did I sign up for this?  Really?

Really? That sucks. I guess that's the chance you take with sending your kids on the bus.

Oh man! Stupid kids on the bus! Sounds like it all turned out OK in the end. That is so early though, to be even thinking about that stuff!
