When my nephew was 12, his dad and step-mom had a baby. Well, obviously they "did it" but he assumed that was the only reason anyone did. I don't know how it came to be, but when he realized his mom and step-dad did, he looked at her, horrified, and said, "YOU DO IT?!" He cried for days. We all laughed and said if we had really thought about our parents we probably would have cried too.:lol: Janelle, isn’t it funny that they think all that stops at a certain point.

A few answers... Bruce, we'll have a door. Tomorrow. :cooldance: Wayne, I have offered my books to my girls once they've turned 13. The oldest collects my books but has never cracked the spine of one. The middle one read Here Comes Trouble last summer, but only after I took paperclips and marked all the "icky" parts that she didn't want to read. Believe it or not, there was still a fair amount of book left for her to read. :lol: I’m loving all these stories!

Doesn't want to discuss sex or anything remotely related but I find ways to throw a thought or two out there from time to time. I have to. He's 5' 8 with a mustache and hair on his legs (don't want to even think about the rest). Most folks mistake him for somewhere between 13 and 15. The girls have absolutely taken notice. He refers to them as creatures but I know this won't last. I wonder whether they'll see the film, or if he already has. He's pretty open but I'm not sure he'd volunteer this one.
