My eleven year old is sat at my feet in the study. She's taping tracks to play in the car, and in typical girlie fashion she has a neatly written list which is ticked off as each track is recorded on to the audio tape.
"Mum, what's an orgasm?" Parent falls off chair
"Do you mean orgasm or organism?" I ask - let's get our definitions right here, after all.
"Orgasm," she confirms.
Oh shit. Deep breath, how do I put this in a neat little nutshell? "It's the feeling you get during sexual intercourse."
"Oh." There is a singular lack of titillation, amusement or query in my young daughter's reaction here.
Parents awaits next question. Next question doesn't come. Parent cannot contain self further... "So where did you get the word 'orgasm' from?" Please say Science lessons, bugger she can't - they're doing plant repro.
"Kerr-rang!"
My turn. "Oh."
I tried the parental homily about not needing to grow up too fast, plenty of time for finding out all sorts of things, blah, blah. My daughter gazes at me, with eyes as old as time and innocent as a blue sky.
"Don't worry, Mum. I'll always be your baby, you know, even if I am growing up."
Ah, the joys of parenthood.
Don't worry. In a few more years you'll get your chance for revenge. Isn't mortal embarrassment in front of friends the primary purpose of the parents of teenagers?
If it's any consolation, I was once a spectator to the conversation below...
14 year old girl - "Mum, what is oral sex?"
Mother - short explanation of cunnilingus
14yo - "Urgh... I don't like that
Mum and older sister in unison - "You will!"
Moment to remember:
While showing visitors round cattle, (then) young daughter in attendance, I was asked about breeding policy. Daughter, born to the ways of nature,and always ready to jump in with both feet, pipes up,' Oh, Dad and Mum don't believe in ordinary sex; they pay a man with a long thin thing to come and do it for them.'
She was, of course referring to the A.I.(Artificial Insemination) Man.
Out of the mouths of babes Sappho......bless the little darlings.
I have a few similar stories but only one I will share this time........
On flying into my arms at the school gates after her first day at school, my daughter was so excited to tell me that she was so very happy that she had giblets in her new class.
I was overwhelmed at her joy and tentatively said "giblets darling, how nice, what are they like?" She enthusiastically pointed to the three children greeting their mummy.
You got it ..........TRIPLETS!!!
I will remind her of this story to my dying day!!!
Love

Well we managed to stop one of the kids looking down my top and telling guests to the house what colour bra I had on. Now he craftly comes for a hug then starts to wiggle about. Then he sorta jumps up and down.
He tries to make my boobs wobble!! The more they wobble the more he screams with laughter. It took me a few times to work out what he was playing at, now it takes just one giggle from him and I know.
The questions have started.........
Why are Mummies boobs bigger than nannies?
Why do they wobble when you stir cake mix?
I guess he takes after his Father!
Dawn :silly:
I think i`m a lucky chap of my daughters are at the age where they can start to ask awkward it`ll be there mum thats gets all the questions.I`m so happy about thinking of her squirming around trying to answer them.
