It may be time to have "The Talk."

[psyche29]

So last Thursday, Matt picked up Mikey from school and then drove down here to wait for me to get off work, as per usual. He mentioned to Mike that Jenn (his brother Steve's wife) had their new baby the previous evening, and somehow the topic got on to how it was a C-section. So Mikey asked what that was, and Matt explained that it meant the doctors cut a small opening in Jenn's tummy and took the baby out.

Mikey asked if he was born like that, and Matt said, "No, you were born the regular way." And not understanding, Mike wanted to know what the "regular" way was.

Keep in mind, this kid has no idea what sex is, how babies are made, etc. He thinks it's "sex" if two people are naked, in bed, under the covers, and kissing. And he thinks that babies are made by Mommy kissing Daddy while "thinking real hard about wanting a baby." And remember, too, that this is the 11-year-old who firmly believes that girls don't have crotches because they don't have a penis or balls, and no amount of description or definition or authority will make him believe it.

So Matt tells him the regular way is when "the baby comes out where the girl's private parts are."

Mikey thinks for a few minutes, then says, "So I came out where the pee comes out?"

And Matt, laughing, said that "no, of course not - you came out from the same area, but not from where the pee comes from."

Another few seconds pass, and Mikey, the picture of incredulity and confusion, asks in exasperation, "But where's the third hole?!?!!"

*dies*

LOLOLOL!!! Awesome. But now you do have to explain it to him before some little bastard at school does it first. I'm almost there with Aidan because she saw a video of a c-section but then she realized that the dr did not use "magic scissors" to get her brother out. I just told her there was another way, but sooner or later she's going to ask what that way is. *sigh*

HEE! It was so funny!

But yeah - I'm not worried so much about other kids telling him, though I sure don't want him hearing it from them!! We'll have to figure out the best way to go about it.

I've had a similar conversation with Nathan recently when he wanted to know where Dexter came from. Disturbingly he wanted to see the third hole! >_
