I took Madison to a puberty class called "Great Conversations" last week. It was 2, 2-hour, evenings. Madison squirmed and squirmed, told me it was the worst class ever.
On night 1, she was surprised that a "pad" was for the TOTM. All these years, she thought it was a pantiliner.
On night 2, she was quite surprised about the mechanics of baby-making. I thought she knew already. But clearly not. Her response was "What? The guy shoves it up..." Oh boy.
I think the kid is traumatized.
About Me
- DD
- I was born & raised in Vancouver, BC but now live in suburban Kirkland, WA. I love adventure although I seem to be more cautious since having kids. Scuba diving, sky diving, two safaris in Africa, backpacking Europe, soul-searching in Israel, and the list goes on, have all been in my distant past. Now, my life is about family and raising my kids to love God, love people and serve the world. I have got one talented husband, one angel child, one spirited child, and a large, supportive extended family. Life is good.

From the 1900's
Madison played badminton for Kamiakin, her middle school. She and her partner Lucy had been kicking butt and they played and practiced against the Gr 8 varsity players. Last month, we asked her about her school athletic shirts...
Me: "Madison, your badminton shirt is pretty nice, do you get to keep them after the season?"
Madison: "No, I don't like it as much. The other girls got new shirts and I got the old leftover shirts."
Me: "Well, it looks pretty good, what's wrong with them...?"
Madison: "The coach brought an old box from their storage. I think it was back from the 1900s or something. I think it he said 1996!"
I killed myself laughing. My stomach hurt so bad from laughing so much. And she didn't get it. She said, "I know. 1900's!!!"

She couldn't figure out why Michael and I were laughing so much....oh, the kids these days!
