...on the front of the Times this morning.

Well THAT needed a bit of explaining to my 7 and 3 year olds.

But how does it make babies?

Thanks, the Times!

Well PP, the kids are pretty skilled cross-examiners, and the only way I could get out of talking about "growers" was to pretend I hadn't heard the question and offer them a pancake.

I find it much easier to just answer children's questions 

I think some adults are very poor at imagining how explanations will sound to someone who doesn't have any of the background knowledge they have

I remember for ages one of my relatives thought I had constipation when in fact I had cystitis and because of this ridiculous veiling of accurate descriptors it was never really clarified

Ha ha at the efforts to make me out to be a prude.

No they haven't seen an adult cock before and we haven't explained about how exactly a willy and a fanny make babies, other than in pretty general terms.

If you lot want to explain in more detail - go for it.  I'm in no particular rush at this end.

They have a handful of times.  Certainly the eldest, can't recall with the youngest.  I don't tend to go round naked generally though.  But they were able to study the picture for a little longer, prompting the questioning.

But if you guys hang out naked with your kids and give them more detailed sex ed from a very young age, I'm ok with that.

i think u missed out some key parts of the conversation plus one assumes that you have two daughters
