The Birds and the Bees

Avonleah browses and asks to be read this My First Encyclopedia book we have ALL THE TIME. Thankfully she usually sticks to the dinosaur and vampire bat pages but lately it's all about the human body and babies and such. . you know mammal stuff. . .so after a particularly interesting Q&A about how babies start growing and a particularly telling reading from the Encyclopedia I forgot to add the "this is something we only talk about at home with our mom and dad because it involves private parts of our bodies clause" and here's what happened at the doctor's office. . .

Dr. Mealer: So Avonleah, you still going to be a doctor someday like me?
Avonleah: Oh yes, but I'm going to be a mom because I'm a girl and girls have eggs and boys have . . .ummm . . . these pointy things that poke into the egg and then a baby starts to grow. . .
Dr. Mealer: Wow you're so right and really smart too. . .(all the while he's smiling at me as I'm sitting there mortified!)

SRSLY?!! POKE?! I could have died . . .why couldn't she have remembered the word "sperm" it's so much better than "pointy things that poke" I can hardly wait until she puts two and two together and notices what the other pictures in the book are about. . .I'm so in trouble. . .I need a manual for this parenting stuff.
