Topic: Mum, whats a...? Posted: 05 July 2007 at 9:21pm |
I have had two of these questions that kinda took my breath away today. The first went like this:
Christopher: Mum, whats a c**t?
Me:  (thinking OMG did my son really just say the C word?? I don't even say the C word. Did he really just say what I thought he did and what on earth am I gonna say... Why is it the holidays... Why do they have holidays... Arrrrggghhh someone save me - please mum ring me now. )
Christopher: Mum?
Me: Ummm where did you hear that word?
Christopher: At school. What does it mean?
Me:  (why isn't that damn phone ringing yet  )
The second question went like this
Christopher: Mum, whats a smear test?
Me:  (Oh God not again...)
Christopher: Mum?
Me: (Why oh why did I leave that reminder by the phone...)
What tricky questions have you had to answer lately.

in the car the other day, completely random
"mummy why do babies come out of their mummies bottoms?"
" sweetie i have explained to you that that is where babies leave the mummys tummy" (we went through all of this when jordis was born)
"no, not all babies, some come out of the tummys, the doctor takes them out"
NO idea who told her about c sections! clever miss 3

Ohhhhh Lyla - I remember condom conversations. That was all kinds of uncomfortable-ness.
And Natalie - I wonder what on earth made that poor little boy think of that

Well, I started off by telling him that the C word is the most worse swear word out of all of them. I told him that it was far worse than the F word and that it was a word that people don't even really use cos it was so bad. I told him that it was kinda gross. I didn't feel that he really understood how bad it was so I said:
Me: You know how D**k is a kinda bad word for penis?
Christopher: Yea
Me: Well, that word is the same but for females and it is way way worse than D**k.
Christopher:  Ewwww gross. Why would anyone ever say that?
Me: (phew)
And for the second one
Me: Its a special test for women
Christopher: Enough said. I don't want to know any more.
LOL!! I think he was still grossed out about the first question.

I haven't had any from Andrew yet he's quite good with the Andrew, Josh and daddy have a pepee but mummy doesn't, but my friend had the death question from her 6 year old step son. That was really hard. We took him to the cemetery and explained that when people die they go and live there but you can't see them anymore. We didn't go into cremation (that will be for another time) as the thought of telling a 6 year old your body gets burnt wouldn't go down well  . Her dad died about 10 years ago and was cremated but has just told him that he is in a different country (which is kinda true as his ashes were split and a bit of him was taken to OZ).

yeah Becks the death one is pretty tough and I so wouldn't go in to cremation with a 6 year old. The whole death thing is hard enough on them.

Oh Becks I think I must have missed your post there. I think you must have done such a good job of explaining that he didn't need it to be re-hashed. You have to make things understandable for them aye and I think that a lot of the time that is the toughest part of answering the difficult questions.

Christopher: Mum, so puberty is when a boy starts changing in to a man aye
Me: Yea, pretty much
Christopher: So is periods the same as puberty but for girls?
Me: (cough, splutter, cough, cough again for good measure) Ummm, no, not exactly. Girls go through puberty too and periods are a part of that
Christopher: So whats periods?
Me:  Didn't I just answer that question?
Christopher: No, if you answered I wouldn't still be asking
Me: Oh ok. Well... Well... Hmmmmm.... How do I put this...
