"Mom, what's cupid hair?"

That's what my littlest boy asked me this evening.

"Cupid hair?  I think you mean 'pubic' hair, babe" I said.

"Yeah, that.  What is it?"

"Well, when boys and girls get older and they stop being children and start being grown ups, they get hair in funky places.  Like their armpits, and their private places."

"WHAT???????  Does dad have that????"

"Yes, he does.  So do I."

"LALALALALALA NOT LISTENING!!! EEEEWWWW!!!!!   ICK!!!!!  NOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

And he runs off down the hallway.

So, that was my 'birds and bees' lesson for today.  Tomorrow morning I think we'll talk about breaking voices and periods.  That should ensure he'll stay away from me for the rest of the day.....

I clicked the title honestly wondering... "Good question...what is cupid hair?"

You made me laugh out loud!!! It takes A LOT to evoke laughter from me when I'm sitting in a room all by myself.

HA! Dharma, this is priceless! It also sounds like a surefire way to get things done if he's going to ignore you after you're "talk".

I can remember thinking erroneously as I child it was public hair and not pubic hair. Imagine how confusing that was! I just for the life of me couldn't see anything public about it...

Now, about those "nocturnal emissions"...

Hey... I just realised that your son just might be on to something.... Isn't it around the time that teens start getting pubic hair, cupid starts thinking about who to match up with each other...maybe it should be called cupid hair....
