Tomorrow is the day. I remember Sex Education in 7th grade when I was growing up. Now, for my oldest, the class begins in 5th grade. *heavy sigh*
Of course I've been talking with her about the body and how it works for years. I was brought up with a mother that was fantastic about being available for any and all questions. It was really up to me and my comfort level.
Now, after reading the letter that came home from school, tomorrow is the day that the 5th grade class begins their F.L.A.S.H. program, "Family Life and Sexual Health". For me there was no fancy program, it was just Sex Ed. That was it. Let the giggling commence!
I want to go back to preschool!!! I want to be Parent Helper #1 and bring the juice! (Or was it 'Crackers'? I could never remember what I was supposed to bring so I just brought one of everything).
I talked with my daughter about the class last night and she asked "Are they going to talk about private parts?" 'Yep', I said, "They're going to talk about all the private parts." "I bet I'm going to hear some great jokes at recess then!" Oh Honey, I bet you are.
Oh, well... time to grow up.
