Today, my 7 year old daughter explained to a taxi driver that she was born from my "vagina that doesn't have hair". He winked creepily at me and said, "I bet it doesn't." FML

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in a lot of places it's regular practice to shave the woman in a hospital before she gives birth. Maybe the kid learned about the procedure and that's why she specified it was a hairless ******.

Pretty sure you're wrong. I have never heard of this happening. There is no medical need, even for a c-section.

I was shaved for my c-section. Any surgical procedure requires hair removal.

#55, wikipedia agrees with me on this: Perineal shaving At one time shaving of the perineum, the area around the ******, was common practice due to the belief that hair removal reduced the risk of infection, made an episiotomy (a surgical cut to enlarge the vaginal entrance) easier, and helped with instrumental deliveries. It is currently less common, though it is still a routine procedure in some countries. A 2009 Cochrane review found no evidence of any clinical benefit with perineal shaving. The review did find side effects including irritation, redness, and multiple superficial scratches from the razor.

So it's not regular practice anymore. My mother wasn't shaven for either of her c-sections.

Back when your mom had you, she was probably cut a little higher than where hair was located. These days when you get a c-section you're cut much lower. If there's hair in an area that will be cut and stitched up, it will be removed.

Wow. Never thought I'd say this to a 7-year-old, but TMI!

Much better to be open with kids, without saying too much. If you lie, they won't trust you or talk to you when they find out the truth. Like most families, we don't close our doors when we get dressed in the morning.

I guess some families are more free with nudity and comfortable with what is seen. Nothing wrong with this, but strange for those that weren't raised this way. Good to know some parents are sharing the "birds & the bees" instead of a child with nothing to go on. I'm still waiting for "The Talk".

Um, that's kind of extremely awkward. Wait, how would a 7 year old even understand the difference?

My guess, based upon my own experience as a mom, is that the little girl walked in on her mom more than once without knocking. It doesn't make her a bad mom, nothing bad happened, we moms just don't get to poop alone.

Since your daughter just gave him the best tip of the week, you can just pay the fare and stiff him.

What kind of things is she learning from school?!

@68 It's unlikely that she's learned this from school, although I'm basing this on US education even though I know OP is from Australia. Most likely, the mom and daughter probably just had an innocent and honest conversation, or the daughter just observed.

Doubt it is from school. It's probably more likely that she walked in on her mother without knocking! I'm a mom, it happens lol
