On the first day of school, my neighbor Lori's 6-year-old daughter Mandy, got off the bus and proceeded to tell her mom that one of the big boys who sat right behind her on the bus kept asking her over and over if she was a virgin. Lori asked "What did you tell him?" Mandy said "I got so mad that I stood up (demonstrating to her mom emphatically with her hands on her hips) and said, "NO I'M NOT!" Curious, Lori asked Mandy if she knew what a virgin was and Mandy said no. So Lori asked her why she gave the boy that answer. Mandy answered, "Because it sounds like a bad word."

I felt like crawling under the pew. The minister said later I should have let him keep it - it was the best he had ever heard.

I was watching the two little boys that my then teenaged daughter usually babysat( while my husband took her to get her drivers permit) and these two were extremely timid for four and five years old. We were outdoors in the back yard when we heard a dog barkin quite a distance away. They both began to cry and wanted to go inside so they wouldn't get bitten by the dog. I said the dog was too far away to bite them and the older one said"it is close enough to bite someone"

When my son was 8 I found him sobbing in his room one day shortly before Christmas...his sister had convinced him there was no Santa...and he was really upset about it. I figured that he was old enough for the truth so I had a little chat with him about it and sobbing, he said "And I bet now you're gonna tell me that the Easter Bunny and the tooth fairy don't exist either, huh?"...

I have one more cute story about privates...(maybe my family is obsessed by them?)...one night we were at the cottage and my son and niece were about 3..they just had a bath and were told to run upstairs and put their pj's on...as my sister and I turned to corner to the stairs, there was my naked son, standing on the second step, and my niece, with my son's Fisher Price Drill in her hand, buffing him up with the soft buffer attachment...my sister and I tried not to laugh but we were out of control after they went upstairs...they are 22 now and are disgusted when we bring this story up...

Shortly after my husband & I were married we were at family dinner at my inlaws. I was sitting next to my 4yr old nephew (now 31)& he looked at me & asked "Aunt Maggie, why is Dorothy pregnant?" All conversation seemed to stop as everyone waited to hear how I would answer him. "Because she & Jerry want to have a baby" I told him. That satisfied him & back to his dinner he went!

Don't we wish we could dismiss having "those" so easily.
