Pollination

Scene set up -- driving home with Chris & Brielle after a fabulous birthday outing.

Brielle:  We learned about pollination today at school.

Me:  Really, what did you learn about it?

Brielle:  That bees carry pollen to other plants, which fertilizes them and grows new baby plants.

Chris: That's how we get babies, too. Dads pollinate Moms. (with a chuckle).

(I look at Chris with a complete look of shock on my face, not wanting to have that conversation yet)

Brielle:  Oooooooo-Kay (while looking at him like an idiot).


Pollination.  A good way to discuss the birds and the bees?  Possibly, but hopefully not for awhile.  And I sure hope she doesn't go back to school and tell her teacher.
