@SW-User tv most likely

You need to find out where she heard that. Has she been online? Or did she hear it in school? Got to be diligent as other parents are not which is why kids are having kids these days.

@curiosi I have no idea plus my husband is at work now.

When he was 8 or 9 my son asked me if my weiner ever got big. I almost died.
SW-User
@TheFragile but the. You said....???? Inquiring minds want to know! Lol
TheFragile · 46-50, M
@SW-User I said yes. What was I supposed to say!
SW-User
@TheFragile I think you did the right thing. Short and sweet. Lol. I've also said to my kids, "that's a great question. We'll talk about that when you're a little older" why the hell isn't there a manual for this shit. Lol
Keep it as light as you can and say that is a big science word that will take a long time to explain. Wouldn't she rather have ice cream?

Explain what an organism is and tell her she probably misheard the word? 😂
Jules31 · 36-40, F
@5thApprentice Might work...
rosyhills · 31-35, F
@5thApprentice brilliant lol

I would buy a book on origami and we would be making a ton of cranes. Oh my, seriously she most likely heard it on television. Sit down and ask her where she heard that word and ask her what she thinks it means. Then you can talk semi age appropriate to her once you know what she already knows. Good luck.

I've always called anatomy what it is with my kids so they know the proper terms from jump. But we've not yet had any of the sex talk.

One day my 3 year old asked me at the top of his voice in the grocery store, "MOMMY WHY YOU HAVE GINA?? WHY YOU DON'T HAVE PENIS??????
SW-User
I'd just say I don't know
Just tell her is is something that adults enjoy when they are over age 25. If you make a big deal over the answer it will make her more curious.

I always found simplicity and honesty worked...an orgasm is when an adult feels very happy...or something like that...they usually accept it and move on...

Lol. Good luck with that one.
Gameknot · 56-60, M
Deflect. She’s not ready!!
Jules31 · 36-40, F
@Gameknot I know! I'm so overwhelmed 😥
Gameknot · 56-60, M
The things kids hear. And see on tv. Good luck to you!!
Butterflykisses24 · 51-55, F
Ask her where she heard it from.If school chances are she will ask them if you dont tell her and be more confused than already is.Lil young for detailed sex talk.Maybe just something that happens when mommies and daddies make babies.
Jules31 · 36-40, F
@Butterflykisses24 I asked her where she heard it and she said she heard a boy say it.
Butterflykisses24 · 51-55, F
@Jules31 ok just tell her as generally as you can with no specific details.Thats too young.
Oh geez, where/how did she hear that word? 😬
I think I'ma pretend I didn't read any of this.

@Sicarium For sure.
rosyhills · 31-35, F
Wow. Kids these day😕
SW-User
I still want to know where she heard it. Like, where did she hear it? Can you ask her? Bc if it was at school, watch me walk into that place like a fn boss and kick asses. Lol
justanothername · 51-55, M
Aka awkward moment. Tell her it’s something very enjoyable that a mummy and daddy share together
Jules31 · 36-40, F
@justanothername Yeah...No
4meAndyou · F
It's something nice that you feel sometimes. It happens when Mommies and Daddies love each other.
ISMELLPROTEINPOWDER · 22-25, M
Explain to her it's actually organism spelt wrong or a error in the word
SW-User
You don’t use that word in front of her.
Jules31 · 36-40, F
@SW-User I didn't. I don't know where she heard it, I guess school.
Northwest · M
Where would your 7 year old pick this up from?
Jules31 · 36-40, F
@Northwest No clue.
abe182 · 46-50, M
Be very general and make it boring as hell. Go on and on.
TexChik · F
I’d ask where she heard that word from
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
