Yesterday’s post explained how Alex almost got a lesson in sexual intercourse from the TV. A couple of days ago, Oprah had How to Talk to Your Child About Sex on her show. I believe in being open and honest about this topic. I’ve talked with Alyssa about where babies come from.
I wanted to watch Oprah’s show because I think you can’t have too much information regarding this topic. Especially since things have changed since I was in school. I hear about middle-school kids participating in oral sex parties and I just want to gag, both figuratively and literally. Kids are also sexting – sending naked pictures of themselves and very explicit text. Welcome to the new technology age…
I knew I wouldn’t be able to watch the entire program so I recorded it.
Tim arrived home from work. We were upstairs discussing what the plan was for the evening. Tim headed downstairs. I stayed up to put on my shoes or something like that.
After I get downstairs to start dinner, Tim pulls me off to the side. “Did you know what’s on Oprah today?”
Me: “Yeah, I’m recording it upstairs so I can watch it later.”
Tim: “I came down. Alyssa and Andy were glued to the TV and they were talking about vibrators.”
Me: ‘giggle, giggle.’
Oops, I did it again!! I left on the TV.
