After my oldest son’s first week of kindergarten, he came home and asked me a very special question.
“Mommy,” he says very seriously, “Conner said that boys put their penises in girls’ vaginas. Is that true?”
After I picked up my chin which had fallen all the way to floor (leaving quite a noticeable bruise, I might add), I looked closely at my son. He still looked like he was only five. I considered his friend, Conner. Conner was the youngest of three boys. My son was the oldest of three boys. The youngest of a set of three of anything learns things at a much younger age than their older siblings.
I pulled my son to me, looking deeply into his eyes.
“Yes, Scott, what you heard is true, but listen closely, because this is important. Boys put their penises in girls’ vaginas, but NOT UNTIL THEY ARE TWENTY.”
