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.
