Out Of The Mouth of Babes - "THE" Talk

I was recently told by a friend of mine, a mother of 4 boys, that I should have "THE talk" with my 10 year old son, if he is asking. I have been dreading it because I feel like I will PUT the thoughts in his head if they aren't already there.

He asks often about "how does the sperm fertilize the egg?" He knows that "sperm" fertilizes the "egg" in plants and humans and animals. He just learned how the sperm of flowers fertilizes the egg. He asked how it happened in humans. I said, "I will let you know when you get a little older." A few days later, I ran into my "above mentioned" friend and told her. She has a farm and uses the animals as examples...lucky her!

So, at dinner, something was mentioned that gave me an opening to start discussing "THE talk". He let me know he knew what sex was. I tried not to look surprised, more like scared. I told him to tell me what sex was. At first, he didn't want to, but gave in. This is what he told me:

Ok, Mom, I have seen it on T.V's many times.  The man and the woman get naked, they get in bed.  They French Kiss and the guy puts the sperm in the girl's mouth.  

With as straight a face as I could muster, I said, "Yep, that is it!"    :)
