Things You Don't Read About In Those "What To Expect..." Book Series....

Last night the boys were in the beds watching "Cinderella" and Jennie and I were in our bedroom watching "Will & Grace" live on NBC. Will, Grace, and Jack had all just had a childish fight where they were in a dressing room and had wound up squirting lotion, squirting hairspray, throwing powder, and throwing various other itmes at each other. The three of them were just standing there getting grilled by Karen. For those of you who don't watch the show, then what I just wrote means nothing to you, oh well.

The boys walked into our room to tell us that the movie was "broken". Nicky took a seat on the recliner and TJ laid down on the floor. On the show, the three of them were a big mess and Karen said to Grace: "Grace honey, you've got a tampon in your hair." It took about 30 seconds then Nicky said: "Tampon? Mommy, what's a tampon?" Stunned silence with muffled laughter ensued. "Tampon. Tampon. Tamp. On. Tampon. What's a tampon mommy?" said Nicky.

Jen's response: "Ask daddy."
Nick: "Daddy, what's a tampon?"
Me: "It's something mommies use."
Jen: "Not all mommies."
Me: "Let's go fix your movie."

I then got up and took the boys back into their room.

Where's the book for how to answer awkward questions?

How about, clearly with straightforward information, lest they get their answers from some kids on the playground!

That's a tough one, Daff.

Has he asked since then about the tampon?

That's even tougher than the standard "Mommy, where do babies come from?"
