THE Talk


I get very sleepy when I try to read. I used to love to read fictional books. I read FAST with eyes wide open, excited... but always found non-fiction to be a real snoozer. I am trying to turn over a new leaf and this will be the summer of books. I found a comfy place on the porch where I plan to learn all I need to know about raising boys. I have a repertoire of these books downloaded to my kindle ready to go. Now for the hard part!!!!

(At least I have made my Kindle Pretty and flowery and enjoyable to look at :0)

Already, in my new found hobby, I have found out that the time is on our doorstep to have THE talk. Apparently, a nine year old can experience the first manifestations of puberty and manhood. I did not think it happened so young, but at the advice of those that have gone before me, those that wear the badge of doctor and therapist, it is of utmost importance that the boy be prepared ahead of time. So, with trepidation, I ordered some teaching books and am getting up the nerve to delve in head first.

Advice is always appreciated, there are many who have travelled this road before me. I look to you to guide me along this path. I will start with prayer that God will give me the wisdom to not mess him up. At leastI can rest in the knowledge that this is the first of three and I get 2 more chances to get it right!
