Day 53 ~ One of the Talks

My new thing for the day was "the talk" with my two girls. No, it wasn't "THE TALK", but it was the talk about becoming a woman.

It actually started kinda funny. One of my daughters asked me, "Mom what is a period?" My other daughter answered, "It is the little dot that goes on the end of a sentence." So myself and my two girls sat and talked about what it was, and what it meant, and I left it open for questions. They asked a couple and then it was done. The funny part was when my husband entered the room. He realized what we were talking about and made a 180 back to the safety of the BBQ outside without a word, but with a look of terror. It actually went well though, and while one daughter decided she was never going to grow up, the other couldn't believe that in 3 or 4 years she would begin the first steps into becoming a woman. To be honest, I can't believe it either. I think I would like them to stay young a little while longer. How about a whole lot longer.
