Birds and the Bees

Driving home from Martindale, Luke asks me how come people can have babies even if they are not married.
Me - Do you remember how babies are made?
L - Yes.
Me - Well, you don't have to be married to do that, although we think it is good to be married before you start a family.
Luke - But some people do that before they get married? They probably just lose control.
Me - No. You always have a choice in life.
Luke - How do they do it again?
Me - The daddy puts his penis in the mommy's vagina and his sperm meets with her egg to make a baby.
Luke - WHAT!? No! Are you serious?!
Me - Yes, remember that's what sex is. We've talked about this before.
Luke - No way. You are kidding.
Me - Nope.

Luke is quiet for a minute. It is important to note that during this entire conversation Sierra is turning beet red, screaming and threatening to jump out of the car.

Luke - Mom?
Me - Yes?
Luke - I can't WAIT to do that!!
Sierra - AAAAHHHHGGGGG!!!!!!!
Me - Well, when you get married, you can do it all you want.

A few more minutes of pondering...

Luke - Mom?
Me - Yes?
Luke - I think a really good place to do that would be the shower. Or maybe the bathtub.

I believe that I shriek-laughed just as loudly as you wanted to in that very moment.

I mean...I almost have no words for this. It's like he said what every man is thinking. Like he tapped into some primal, intuitive man-ness. Your responses to him were great. Can't wait for this conversation with Kazimir! (gasp!)
