Call it what you want

Call it what you want..."the talk" "the birds and the bees" "where do babies come from". Whatever you call it, how ever you word it, it all means the same to me and maybe some of you... "AAAHHHH!!! No not yet!" My son who is 9 and daughter who is 7 have been curiously and frequently asking me, "yeah but HOW does the baby get out of the mom's tummy? How does the baby get in? If God wants people to be married first and they are not why would he let them have a baby and how did they get the baby?" As they are innocently asking ME these questions (why are they not asking their dad?!?!) I try to remain calm on the outside. But inside I'm a wreck! "AAAAHHHH, what do I say? I can' t tell you THAT! You're both too young to know about this! Oh Lord, please help me!"
They have been asking questions like these on and off for awhile and I've been pretty good at getting around the question enough to satisfy them. But lately I've been convicted that I need to toughen up and answer their questions.
Why is it so embarrassing? Why do parents dread this topic so much? Maybe because after the fall Adam and Eve realized they were naked and were embarrassed. Maybe because Satan doesn't want us or our kids to know the truth. He wants them to believe lies as truth, to be tempted and to give into that temptation.
Whatever the reason is to why this topic makes me blush the truth is... it does. But I want my kids to hear the biblical truth about this topic from us (their parents) before they find out the "world's" definition and lies.
So with lots of prayer, some good resources, more prayer and honesty, my husband and I are going to answer our kids questions as openly and honestly as we can. I'll keep you posted!
