Juan and I decided to order some Christian teen books on Amazon about living a pure lifestyle and other teen girl topics for River and Hailey. Well, Hailey had been grounded to her room so she took that time to dive into the new books. After an hour or two of reading she came into the living room holding the book and said "I have a question" right at the same time as I was sending the boys outside to play and giving them instructions as to their boundaries in the neighborhood/mostly yard play. "Just a min. sweetheart and I will answer your question" I said. She waited patiently with book in hand open before her. After making sure the boys had shoes on and Connor turned his shirt right side out things settled down and Juan and I plopped on the sofa together and looked up at Hailey. "What's your question honey?" I asked. She stood with book in hand and asked loudly as she searched the page with her finger..."What is an S.......T........D? I turned by head towards Juan so she would not see me laugh at the question that kind of took me unawares. Juan answered her question very simply and kindly. Then she said "I have another question about a word I do not know, what is fornication?" Again, I tried not to smile at her loud inquisitive curious eyes. Juan saved the day again and answered her question to which she said "groooooosssse" with a big frown and went back into her room. Juan and I looked at each other and shook our heads left to right and quietly laughed about this new era of parenting we find ourselves in. Sigh, what happened to our little girl with the overalls and very curly hair? I can't believe I look up at both of my daughters now as they are both taller than me. I want to type in funny things my kids say but well, now two of my kids are not kids anymore. They are old enough for the funny things they say to be asking about STDs and fornication. I guess for the funny things kids say part I will just quote the boys from now on like Connor who looked at Corban who fixed his hair really funny with a flip out on the side and said "Corban! You look like Ace Virginia Pet Detective!" Funny.
