My daughter is eleven. That's fifth grade. I can't remember being in the 5th grade. I'm pretty sure I wasn't interested in boys yet ! Was I? I didn't have boobs, scary hair or think the word 'period' meant anything more than punctuation.
Well, times are a-changing, ain't they? The fifth graders today are WAY more advanced than my friends and I ever were. Hell some of these 5th graders got more boob than I would know what to do with !! Some girls today are full blown developed by the time they hit middle school. How did this happen ?!?!?!!
My daughter, and most of her friends, are in the slower developing group. (Thank God). The boobies are barely getting that little puffy look, there's no hair anywhere, and surely no monthly visit from Aunt Flo yet. I'm not even sure Alexx knows what a period is. I haven't asked, and neither has she. I left it like that. LOL
Next Thursday all the fifth graders get "THE" talk. The boys and girls will be separated and shown an informative video on puberty, reproduction and how it all works. Permission slip has been signed and submitted !
I don't remember getting "THE Talk" when I was in the fifth grade. I think I learned about the whole menstruating thing when it actually happened. I think the school's contribution to this subject was a gift pak in P.E. It contained shampoo, conditioner, deodorant and a box of super skinny slender Tampax. OOOO the giggles those skinny Tampax involked !! Most of us had no idea what there were for. At least, until we opened the box the first time and read the instructions, with pictures. EWWWWW
You put that WHERE???????
Then there's the sex act itself. I have no clue as to who grossed me out with this information or how I learned it. I remember my mom giving me a book to read, and telling her it was too late, I already knew about it. I DO remember the boy/girl parties that started out with the girls on one side and the boys on the other, then ended up with the girls giving handjobs and blowjobs in the closets. All that practice leads up to a drunk me-- in the backseat of a '65 Mustang on a gravel road on a chilly night in November. I was 15.
You put that WHERE ?????!!!!!?!??!?
(Yeah baby !! Been gettin' laid ever since !! Thanks, Darin !!)
I told my husband that Alexx was getting the sex talk in school next week. He kinda went into a catatonic state. I guess I should have waited till we got to the top of the stairs before I said anything. LOL
I said to him "Now she's gonna know what we doing in there with the door closed. She never gonna look at us the same again, dear." LOL
Well, now she'll know better than to barge in when the door IS closed !
Again, I don't know how much she already knows. I know, I should have had this talk with her myself. But, if she's not asking questions, why go there?
Alexx covers her eyes when people kiss on tv and says "EW" when she sees me and Rog kissing. I just don't think she's into all that boy thing yet.
So, I would love to be a fly on the wall in that room when my daughter is told that one day a boy will stick his penis into her and spew semen ! LOL And she's going to LET him, AND LIKE it !!! LOL
You Put That WHERE ?!???!??!!??!?!???!
I can't wait till she comes home from school next Thursday ! I can't wait to hear her take on the whole concept. If I know her, she'll blow it off like something stupid and a waste of time. Boys are yucky, ya know !!
I still dread that day Aunt Flo comes for the first time. Anybody remember theirs?
Where did you learn your birds and bees?
Dads have it so easy. "It's yours, son, you can rub it as often as you want to, just remember to put a sock on it" GAWD !!!
Ciao !!
