I was thinking about the birds and the bees today. Do you remember how awkward that first discussion was with your parents? I invite all my friends to share their first experience.
Mine was oh so classy. My dad called me into the garage where he was drinking a beer and smoking a marlboro red…and said some very memorable words…he said…”keep it in your pants”, with a nice accompanying hand gesture. awesome. As if I’d ever have sex with a girl. ew.

It was my Mom giving me a copy of Where Did I Come From? There wasn’t really any discussion beyond that. It’s a fun book with 45ish year old cartoons having sex. They even have an African American version which I’m sure has the same kind of cartoonish pictures.
Ha! That’s funny…
The first time I can remember the subject being brought up was riding in the car on the freeway with my dad. I don’t remember what my dad said, I just remember the whole situation being incredibly awkward and me threatening to jump out of the fast-moving car if he didn’t stop talking.
