My son and his gf were having a small get together on Friday evening. They would be hanging out downstairs and people were going to start arriving around 8pm.
My 5 year old overheard someone say ‘party’. Her ears perked up and she wanted to know where, when, why and more about this ‘party’.
Me: It’s not so much a party really. They’re just having 4 people over.
Her: Well can I go? I love parties!
Me: Most certainly not. First, you’ll be in dreamland and second, it’s a party for teenagers and young 20 somethings.
Her: Oh so I can’t go then?
Me: That is correct.
Her: Why? Are they going to sit around and talk about their prrrriiiivates?
Me: Whaaaaaaaaaat???????????? Where does this child come up with this stuff? I mean really.
Her: Isn’t that what teenagers do? That’s what I’ve heard.
Me: That’s what you’ve heard? Where have you heard that? I’m pretty sure they don’t teach you that in Kingergarten. Give me strength.
Her: I just know these things.
Me: Ah huh. Well let’s assume then, that they are going to sit around and talk about their privates. All the more reason, you will not be attending.
I can’t wait for her to be 13. Help me. Someone. Now.

Girlfriend sometimes I too have to wonder where my daughter get some of the stuff that comes out of her mouth.
But mixing with other children they are bound to pick up stuff and you will have to reprogramme them all over again when they come home from school.lol

The 9 year old asked me what “going all the way” meant. I managed the brush-off quite nicely. I’m pretty sure his older brother explained it later.

Hey, that sounds like my kinda party, sitting around talking about private parts and all. I mean, i sit around and talk TO my privates so I may as well talk about them too. In fact, I think that will be the theme of my next party…oh wait, now i remember why I sit around talking to my body parts, no one comes to my parties.
Woe is me
