The Talk

We go the note home last night for Caz. 5th grade Boys Night Out. "Come play some games and stay for a short film on health." Dum da da da, dum dah, dum dah, stop....Puberty time. Yep, it's time for the elephantitus video. Caz got momentarily shy about it. He even proclaimed, despite years to the contrary, that he didn't want hair on this penis. No choice about that my man. I am actually looking forward to it. He's old enough to know definitively where babies come from. He's off to junior high next year. And Demi and I have been pretty upfront leading up to this. It's not like we filled in the whole picture or got graphic. But we tell the kids like it is. We answer their questions honestly and hopefully, age appropriately. So now it's time to find out for sure what he knows and make sure he understands the right things. No big deal.
