Didn't expect "that talk" this soon!

"Mom! Why don't children want to get married? Not that I want to, but why don't they?"

"Maybe because they don't understand what marriage is about?! But if they do, then definitely they don't want to get married!!"

"No, it is because they don't want to have sex!"

It sounded like "sucks"; so, I confirmed that he actually said "sex".

"What do you know about sex?"

"That's how you make a baby!"

"Are you talking about this at school?"

"Yes. Someone in my class said that if you touch, you can have a baby."

"That's not true. You need an egg and a sperm for a baby."

Why did I say that?! But the boy stopped paying attention to me. He finished off with these wise words:

"You must not have sex with a dragon, you will get burnt. So, that's a bad idea!"

"Yes! Why don't you go upstairs and get ready for bed?!"

He is back after 10 minutes.

"Did you and dad have to do the thingy to have ASid and me?"

So the boy knows more than he is willing to admit!

"Why don't you have these talks with your dad?"

Yeah! Why me?

But he continues...

"Then ASid has to do the thingy so I can have nephews. Poor ASid."

"Why are you calling it the thingy? You can call it sex."

"No, it is the thingy now."

Sad to say; however, I laughed uncontrollably at least 3 times during that exchange. The dragon bit made me laugh the most.

On a serious note though, I really wonder what the kids are talking about...
