How I Knew My Nine-Year Old Son Would Grow Up to be a Gynecologist

My 13-year old cracked a joke about condoms.

Vincent, my 9-year old laughed, as if he got it.

I turned to Vincent and said, “Do you even know what a condom is?”

He said, “It’s a water balloon you put on your dippy before you partake in what is known as the baby-making lottery.”

Okay, he didn’t really say dippy. But the rest about the water balloon and the partaking in what is known as the baby-making lottery? That was not paraphrased.

    “The Baby making Lottery”? LOVE IT! From the mouth of babes…

  • I know you probably didn’t think so at the time, but this is too funny. Nine ain’t what it used to be, huh?

    Do you think Vincent could explain where babies come from to my fiance’s 6 year old son? He’s starting to ask questions and I think Vincent might be better suited to answer them. He definitely has a better handle on the vernacular than we do. Is a cross-country playdate too big an undertaking?

  • roflmao!!!!!!!!!! especially by the fact he’s so accurate. it kind of is a lottery.

  • The baby making LOTTERY??? I would have passed out laughing! Pretty much from the day Ryan was born, Chris and I have agreed that the minute he (and now his brother and sister) have any level of girlfriend/boyfriend, we are buying condoms by the truckload. They can have them any time they ask! Our school district does a very thorough sex ed program. *cough*

    Can you hear me laughing from NY? Your humor and your kids’ humor is spot on!

  • LOL, it could have been worse. I mean he could have gone into great detail about the baby making lottery… Just sayin.

      No, he wouldn’t do that. He clams up and runs out of the room if we talk about sex. He can still be age appropriate sometimes. Shwew!

    Incredible isn’t it? I also have a 9 year old son, and we reside in Upper Wonderful as well. Wonder if your son has educated mine, or could mine have been the ring leader? He seems to have acquired a wealth of information this year :) More than I remember having at his age. He loves taunting me with his new found maturity.

      Um…I think the Upper Wonderful school board extended sex ed to the lower grades. Yes! That’s it! It’s not coming from my little boy. Or maybe our boys are learning this stuff from DARE.

  • Wow, I’m so scared of adolescence.
