Be Cool

Will I be a cool mom? Will I be smooth and confident when I talk to Sweet Pea about sex? Will I have the courage to answer all of her questions honestly? Will I use the real names, the clinical names that is, for body parts? Will I cop out by handing her a book? I hope not. I hope that I can maintain the same frankness that I have now. I hope that I'll be able to speak to her about sex like she's my very best girl friend. I hope that the thought of my baby girl having sex won't terrify me to the point of paralysis.

In any case, thank goodness for the internet. What was it like being a parent without it? I am listening to This American Life and they just did a segment about Sex Etc.. Thank goodness for wonderful resources such as this one.
