“What questions do you have right now, honey?”
“I don’t have any questions.”
*Child pauses.*
“Ok, I have a question.”
“Shoot.”
“That picture in the book? The one of the mommy and daddy…cuddling?”
“Where they are having sex? Or making love?”
“Yeah, that one.”
“What about it, baby?”
“The man was lying on top of the woman. Wouldn’t he squish her like that?”
*Mommy pauses.*
“He’d be careful so he didn’t squish her, baby. But there are ways that people can have sex other than with the man on top.”
“Oh, you mean like if the woman was on top?”
“Sure, honey. That’s a possibility.”
*Child rolls over on bed.*
“Or like this, Mommy? They could do it on their sides?”
*Mommy is momentarily taken aback.*
“Yes, they could make love on their sides, honey.”
*Child begins rolling around goofily, making weird faces and contorting all limbs.*
“Or like this, Mommy? Or like this? Or like this?”
*Mommy blushes, realizing her sweet child has unknowingly hit any number of actual sex positions in her little demonstration.*
“Baby, where are you coming up with these things?”
*Child giggles.*
“I just see them in my mind, Mommy.”
*Mommy is stunned, realizing that no matter how open-minded she might think she is, a discussion of how people have sex will always be shocking when it’s with her child.*
