And She's Not Yet 8

"Can 21 year old girls have babies?"
 
"Yes.  Girls can often start having children at 13."
 
"I will try not to have a baby when I am 13."

Well, at least you know now that she'll at least make a conscientious effort to hold off from having kids for a few more years ;-)

That made me laugh :)

You should have told the Diva you can get pregnant from kissing boys! :P

Well I'm glad she's going to TRY not to! That's at least half the battle! :)

MC - I am so relieved!!! ;) Her dad and I appreciate her effort.

Scotty - It made me laugh too - that was after my stunned silence.

Aaron - That might have worked a few years ago - before we had a cat neutered, which required explanation. Now I just focus on her thinking that kissing is yucky. Not sure how much longer this will last as boys became "okay" again during the summer!

Teri - I don't have to worry for five years! Yay!

My ten year old (very soon to be 11) asked me about periods the other month. I almost swallowed my tongue :)

Well I am glad she will try her best...umm...I hear homeschooling is big now...

The Exception said...

Just Run - I take 'em where I can get 'em!

Scorpy - How quickly did you attempt to change the subject?! ;)

It is great that she is comfortable discussing it with you.

Ruby - My SIL home schools - now that takes energy and a level of patience I just don't have!

I definitely appreciate her effort. Maybe she will tell me soon that she will try not to get pregnant when she is 16... !;)
