Is there a man in the house?

from JoeUser Forums

Tuesday:

Jake:  "Mom, what's masturbation?"

Thursday:

Davey:  "mom, what's a foreskin?"

 

I did my best to explain what they are.  I was really tempted to call Dave and have them ask him but I decided to suck it up and answer.

To Jake I said "that's when people touch their private parts and make themselves feel good".

To Davey I said " I'll find you a picture.  You don't have one because you were circumcised and it got cut off, but you were born with one.  It's a piece of skin that covers the end of your penis and makes it look like it's in a little drawstring bag."

Did I do okay, all you male Joe Users?  Is that what you'd have said?

You did good!  There is no easy way to address the subject.

Good answers! *clap clap clap*

That's always a good one. I can handle those ... the ones I'm not looking forward to deal with my daughter ... With my luck, my wife will be out of town when that question comes up.

Yeah, Dave's been gone so much recently that I've been fielding ALL the questions.  My daughter got her first period the day after I came home from the hospital so I missed getting my own back with him there.

No, there isn't.  I about choked on my soda when he asked because he did it totally innocently.  You know, some kids will be snickering and smirking when they ask because they have an idea, they just want to hear you say it....but not this time.  They both asked out of the blue and there wasn't any snickering or giggling. 

*sigh* I miss my husband.

*applause from the sidelines* Good Job! Not easy to deal with those questions, but you did great. (Hey, I may not be a guy, but I do have the same thing to look forward too-HW is probably going to be gone....sigh)
