So I had to have the sex talk with my 7 year old. awesome.

It all started because one of the guppies that we have is knocked up. so that lead to a "how did she get that way" talk. So, taking the advice of all the crap I've read on the subject, I started out by just giving her a little information, and then letting her ask follow-ups, figuring no sense telling her EVERYTHING if all she really wanted to know was a little, you know? As it turns out, she wanted to know everything. When we got to the part where she said "well, how does the sperm GET to the egg?", and I explained the basic premise to her, I had to bite the inside of my mouth to keep from laughing.

You know that look you get on your face when you wake up in the middle of the night, all sleepy and groggy in your jammies and your favorite cuddly socks and you shuffle out of your room for a drink or whatever and you step right into a pile of cold dog vomit? THAT's the look she got on her face. She paused for a minute, and then looked at me and said...

"Wait. Let me get this straight. You did this FOUR times?"

Priceless.
