The Talk

When a man and woman . . .

. . . is the beginning to many birds and bees talk.  Neither of my children are ready for this talk, but I am preparing for the day. 

This drawing symbolizes not only the birds and bees talk, but every discussion Amy and I will have with Matthew and Emma about the joys and struggles of life.  Our talks currently concern sharing, hitting, pouting, and eating everything on the plate.  Couple more years the subjects will shift towards homework, studying, friendship, after school activities, etc.  Then the big talks arrive - dating, college, marriage.  I am not worried (maybe a little).

Amy and I still turn to our parents occasionally for advice, but I more often use my dad as a sound board rather than my mom.  Something about one guy talking to another guy is easier.  I figure the same is true for ladies.  

How did "the talk" go in your house? Do you still ask your parents for advice?
