I am sure most of my classmates have had "The Talk" with their parents. Sadly, I have never had it. I learned it hard way. I remember when I was in middle school having my first menstrual cycle. I was so embarrassed. I will never forget that day. I don't blame my Mom for not telling me though. I come from very traditional culture. Never heard my Mom say the V word. I am still having issues now to say vagina. It must be the culture thing. So here it goes for the talk scenario. I have a little niece and nephew. I am planning to have the birds and bees talk with them one day. This is the talk..
One day my niece will be a teenager and she will be meeting boys. I don't want her to find out things by herself. So I will sit down and tell her about what sex is. One day my niece asked what is the difference between a boy and a girl. I told her "a boy has a penis and a girl has a vagina". She asked if her brother has penis. I told her yes. I know it will be hard to talk about sex and all the talk but I am gonna have to talk to her because I know she won't be able to talk to her mother.
She asked about the boobs too. She asked why do I wear bra. I told her I have to wear it to cover the boobs. She kept on asking why. I told her one day, she will grow up like me and have boobs and she will have to wear the bra. From that day on, she keeps asking when will she grow up. She is one little funny kid. It is gonna be uncomfortable though.
My nephew on the other side refuse to talk about it. He knows the babies come from the Mommy's tummy. He is 10 and he does not want to talk about girls. It's gonna be hard but I will let her know about the sex before she explore it herself.
