Birds and the bees talk

My dad had that talk with me and, looking back at it as an adult, I realize now it made him uncomfortable. I was 11 or 12 I think. When I was a teenager the message was "wear a rubber, even if she says she's on the pill".

My kids are 4 and 2. Glad I don't need to do that for a while.

No. We were on vacation at Lake Tahoe and you were 9 years old. August, 1986. There was a woman lying on the beach with her top off and your Dad said you went bug eyed, so he had the "talk" with you, according to what he told me later that night.
Of course knowing your father, he could have been the one who was bug eyed.

Don't recall that but wish I did :D

All I remember was a talk when I was in 5th or 6th grade

This day and age, you would have to have the talk around 2nd - 3rd grade if you want to be the first one to tell them. The interwebs changed everything.

This. Many of these kids could tell you things that would shock you. I offer no value judgment: just be cognizant of how much information these kids are exposed to at an early age.

P.S.: if your child or his-her friends have older siblings, the information highway is wide open.
