My kit at TDD was inspired by the following conversations with Landon (my 9 y/o son). There's a lovely follow-up at the end of this, too. I'm rolling!
Beginning of January
Landon is playing some Squeakquel game or something, and the Chipmunks girls are singing "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." And here is the convo...
L: Mom must not want to be married. Girls just want to have fun, and marriage can't be fun.
Me: Marriage can be fun (I didn't really want to say it was all fun because it does require effort, etc.).
L: What's fun? S - E - X? (he spelled it) But you guys don't do that. At least you never get naked.
Me: You realize s e x is needed to make babies, right? [we have had age-appropriate conversations about bodies and such, and he's 9, and I know that we have actually not made the s e x = babies connection yet but felt this was a good time to go there]
L: Ohhhhhhhh. Ewwwwwwww. That means you had to do it at least once.
Me: Ahem. There are two of you.
L: Ewwwwwwwwww.
Me: (trying to get back on topic of marriage being fun) Well, there are lots of fun parts about S E X [yes...I said s e x instead of marriage...talk about a slip]
And then near the end of January...
He's watching Suite Life on Deck
on the show...
London: I'll be the big sister you never had.
Bailey: Actually, I have 6 big sisters and 3 little ones.
London: Boy, your mom needs a hobby.
then...
Landon: I understand what that means now.
Michael: What do you mean?
Landon: Now that I know about how babies are made, I understand what she said about hobbies. If the mom doesn't have a hobby, she just has s-e-x all day.
**********
This morning's convo with my husband...
Landon: {having conversation about my husband playing video games with him}...but you quit when I needed you most. And then Avery quit, too. (that's his big sister)
Michael: Avery likes playing with more people. That game isn't fun for her with just two people.
Landon: You need to have more kids.
Michael: We can't have more kids {and there is some dialog about adoption, tubal ligation, etc.)
Landon: It's all your fault for not having enough s.e.x. with Mom!
Michael calls me in tears from laughing so hard. I tell ya...Freud's got nothing on this kid.
