Tonight my open door policy was sorely tested.
"Mum what's masturbation?"
I know the dictionary has been consulted about this word but it seems that the dictionary meaning was clear as mud. (It says something like "manipulation of the genitals")
"Ummm, Ahhhh, Ohhhhh" I believe I should answer, but how?
My saviour comes in the unexpected form of the Tomboy "It's wanking, isn't it, Mum?"
"Yes" I agree, trying not to elaborate.
"What's wanking?"
The Tomboy saves me again with "masturbation"
At this point their Dad wanders up the hallway and I expect his non-answering policy to come in handy "Daddy, have you ever wanked?"
"It's bed time"
"But Daddy, have you ever wanked?" ( note that it's not "have you?" but "have you ever.....")
"Time for bed" comes the reply.
"Have you ever wanked, Daddy?"
If I wasn't already laughing enough this one just floored me: "None of your business!"
The boys and I were absolutely howling by now.................
Dimples chimes in with "that's a yes, isn't it?"
Kylie...best. Post. Ever.
ReplyDeleteI just burst out laughing and Hedgehog looked at me like I was mad.
For some reason, THAT particular question is I think the hardest of all the sex questions a kid would ask, but I'm not sure why.

ReplyDeletei know, i've answered em all :)
What's wanking?

ReplyDeleteThat was me who deleted.
ReplyDeleteI'm too busy laughing to comment...
Perhaps I have too??
Luckily for me I haven't been asked THE QUESTION.
heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee
ReplyDeleteI think that just about sums it up :-)
LMAO...with all the grandkids around here it is a wonder this question has not been asked. I am saying a prayer right now...that they won't ask me!!
ReplyDeleteI hate to be the barer of bad news....but the questions DO get harder. Wait until they want you to explain how oral sex works and not is such nice terms.
ReplyDeleteThat was funny :-)
ReplyDeleteAh, the questions that children ask.
Best wishes,
Skeeter
I have no kids and I've never been asked if I wank.
ReplyDeleteLife is good!!! Good luck with that! I'll meet you at the other end. If you survive.
XO, Me ;)
Queen Goob causes some conternation.
ReplyDeleteI'd hope for the best and trust that he is the bearer of good news rather than the barer of bad.
Who by the way is Wayne Kerr Kylie?
I should learn to spell. Conternation of course should be consternation.
ReplyDeleteLucky us, Helen has been easy and hasn't asked any awkward questions. Whenever something comes up on tv i have asked if she understood what it means, usually she already knows or has an idea of what it means.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness School resumes tommorrow it is expensive time with Helen going to movies and buying things. Helen is at the age where she is doing her own thing and having her mum around is not cool.
Anyway it works out well as i have been working 5 days a week.
I see you guys have another week left of school hols.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
@ Suze - I love that first line! So direct - had to chuckle to myself......
ReplyDeleteDear Kylie,
