Sex Ed for 5-year-olds

So a few weeks ago, Jack asked me how babies get out of their mommies' bellies. I don't make up special words for body parts. I said, "Mommies have a special hole in their bottoms called a vagina, and that's how the baby gets out."

So he asked me to see a photo. I told him I would find him one some time, and we dropped the subject.

Temporarily.

A few days later he asked me when I was going to show him a picture of that "pothole." "What?" I said.

Jack: "The pothole."

Me: "Pothole?"

Jack: "You know the pothole that the baby comes out of."

So I told him I'd show him soon. And we dropped the subject.

Temporarily.

I was getting ready to tuck Jack in one night, and he brought it up again. So I asked Aunt Kristen, who was on the internet, if while we were brushing his teeth she would find an age appropriate picture of a baby being born that we could show Jack. She did:

It's better than the first image that she selected which can be found here.

Jack laughed hysterically, and told Caid to come look at the "pothole." And Caid said, "Jack, that's not called a pothole... That's a Virginia."

And that ends our sex ed lesson for the day.
