Today, I overheard my 11-year-old son giving my 8-year-old daughter the sex talk. FML

Worst part is I wasn't all that shocked when I read this... I don't like that this is what the world has come to, of course, but I remember once my brother who is two years older than me was going to tell an inapropriate joke. He was twelve and I was ten. He went "Oh... Maybe I shouldn't tell it when she's here..." and I went "Nah, I know. Don't you think I watch TV? I can handle this." Yes. My innocense was lost waaay too early. :/ I Think I was eight... Possibly seven when I was given "the talk" by a friend... She was one year older... DAMN I'M MESSED UP! :S

Not only that, but teaching another kid can also help them process the information and further their own understanding. It's one reason why tutoring is so popular- it is beneficial both for the kid being tutored and the kid doing the tutoring.

They are going to find out sooner or later, you might as well sit down with your kids and tell them the way you want them to find out.

If you haven't given your son the sex talk, then his classmates at school probably did.

It would be weirder if it were the other way around.

Ha that reminds me of the time my little sister told my little brother he was going to get a period toox). He believed her smh

and people think child obesity is a problem.

Well, look at the bright side. You don't have to do it!:) And by 11 kids pretty much know what "it" is by then. Either from school or their friends. *sigh* No one stays pure anymore....
