Birds and Bees for a Seven Year Old

Saturday morning, through a fast series of questions and tangents and Ben telling me "I'm a girl", he and I had our first semi-detailed birds and bees talk. I'd say it went pretty well.

He now knows that if you have an "oh no", you're a boy, and if you have a "hoo hoo", you're a girl, and that girls and boys are like two pieces in a puzzle, and are meant to be together emotionally, physically, and spiritually in order to complete the picture God intended. But of course, we have to be careful which puzzle piece we choose to fit together with to make sure that it's one that makes us a better person, not a worse one.

He also knows that when two pieces of puzzle become one, they can miraculously produce a third puzzle piece. And that's how he got here. And I did have to add in that the third puzzle piece grows in the woman and emerges via the hoo hoo.

I think I stopped at that point. He seemed content with the discussion.
