Yes they do come with some things don't they.I hope this won't offend anyone but it is a true thing that my son said to me when he was 5.(he is now 23)
He was looking at a Claire Raynor book about the facts of life ,all cartoony pictures.He saw a picture of a mans erection and came running in to me and said."Mum you better tell Dad this will happen to him" lol

lol Helen.

My son was about six when he found out about the birds and bees, not our choice to tell him at that age but an older girl told him at school.

His Dad took him to his room to tell him .(I chickened out) He came down stairs and looked at me and said 'aww, you cant do that now you took a pill, I just agreed lol. Then he burst out laughing and asked if his Gran and Grampa did 'THAT' too lol.

When my boys were 5 & 6 we visited someone in a hospice with beautiful grounds, many Holy statues around.

Youngest asked me "what was it like Mum when Jesus came?"

Same son asked "what was the world like when it was just black and white?".... he had just watched a very old film on the telly.

He is now nearly 27 and I look forward to my granddaughter asking similar questions.

At a christening recently the vicar stated that God was not a man in the sky on a cloud but all around us. My son was gobsmacked and amused everyone by shouting out "what does she mean mum, what a load of rubbish, she should ask my teacher!" and after we had sang a song he decided to shout out "Boooo". Thank goodness the people there had a sense of humour.

My eldest who is now 11 thought that kissing was having sex. I told my hubby he had better explain things quickly incase he told anyone we had sex on the door step every morning!!

and if we get any answers on a postcard please keep me informed! lol

Posted this while ago.

Whilst traveling back from a trip away with my daughter and young son. We got cought short on a coach with a broken toilet. When we arrived a the train station, we only had a few minutes to catch the train so i told my son to hurry and to cross his legs till we got on train. The only seat on the train was at the far end so i asked my Daughter to watch luggage whilst i took my 5 year old to loo. After Liam had finished i told him to wait whilst i went(rather than let him go off on his own). After i relieved myself we came out off loo and before i could do or say anything Liam shouted at the top of his voice and down the entire packed carrage ' Danielle Dad,s got a big willy'........

For the whole entire trip back i did not look and anyones face on the train and boy was i glad to get off...
