Actually I can see a MASSIVE perk of bilingualism would be buying all the books in your non-mother tongue and thus conveniently outsourcing to your partner...Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399800633974908962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975909435202379066.post-27356455661827028402012-09-16T10:05:49.962+01:002012-09-16T10:05:49.962+01:00Good thinking Batman.

Annoyingly I can't think of any concrete examples right now - but I'd be looking for a non fiction book which is about more than "just" the facts of life so that it can be picked up without immediately being embarrassing.<br /><br />Playing by the bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02761644438775249830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975909435202379066.post-19497960643968860252012-09-14T15:41:18.950+01:002012-09-14T15:41:18.950+01:00How am I supposed to have this talk with my childr...How am I supposed to have this talk with my children if I cannot get through your blog post without laughing uproariously?Perogyohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01066575445602451389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975909435202379066.post-48983089171403958462012-09-13T12:59:03.547+01:002012-09-13T12:59:03.547+01:00Actually my two are also fine (bum/vagina confusio...Actually my two are also fine (bum/vagina confusion aside)on the coming out of a baby...it's the how it got in there in the first place they seem to take for granted!<br />Glad its not just me wimping out on the Mummy Laid an Egg front.Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399800633974908962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975909435202379066.post-85717884587274805662012-09-13T12:27:12.261+01:002012-09-13T12:27:12.261+01:00P.S.

I was absolutely unquestioning as a young child too, and had actually covered it at school but wasn't really listening and was on the second book* my exasperated mum gave me to read age 11 before I twigged: "Mum! Look, what people do! Ergh!" Seeing as I'm the youngest of five, I think she probably already knew... ;-)<br />(*Usborne's Facts of Life)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975909435202379066.post-54445794460166517352012-09-13T12:15:39.420+01:002012-09-13T12:15:39.420+01:00I don't know if it's because my girls are ...I don't know if it's because my girls are baby mad, but the questions started early for me! MG (5) is well aware of "the eggs we have inside our bodies" that we need to make babies, and that mummies and daddies do a "special cuddle" (she was 4, that's as far as the questioning went) and we have "Mummy Laid an Egg" on the shelves, but I can't do *that* page, so it's hidden behind some other books - still accessible for whenever they want to look at it... We've also had a steady stream of friends having babies so there's lots of asks and watching breastfeeding etc. They've seen a baby being born in a video online too! MG is fascinated, asks about how much it hurts having a baby etc. Not so interested in how they got there to be honest, but then she thinks she knows everything already ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
