The danger of singing Christmas Carols with a 6 year old.

[mzmolly]

After a rousing verson of "Silent Night" my daugther had questions.

6 y/o daughter lastnight: "Mom, what's a virgin" ?

Me: Well, uhm ... it's a person who uhm, never married er, uhm ... :shrug:

Daughter: Oh, so Aunt so and so is a virgin then ?

Me: Well, it's late, we'll talk about it tomorrow. :crazy:

I almost went into a speech about how I don't personally subscribe to the Virgin Birth thing, but thought it best to wait. ;)

1. hehehehehehehehe

I've been lucky so far and haven't been questioned about that.

Kids... :loveya:

2. We have alot of 'splainin to do.

What are you going to tell her today?

[mzmolly]

5. Frankly, I'm hoping she forgets. She's on to asking about eggs today

today.

"Mom, is this an egg that a hen laid?"

Me: "Yes"

6 y/o: "But, how'd they get the chick out and put the egg all back together again?"

:crazy:

[elehhhhna]

10. Ha! She's talking EGGS and you're relieved?!!

[djeseru]

3. I had almost the same reaction

the other night - after seeing a Methodist church commercial use the word, my 7 y/o daughter asked me what does 'sexy' mean. I finally had to distill is down to feeling good about yourself. After a lot umms and uhhs...

4. Oh, that's too funny!

I got stuck explaining the facts of life to my two daughters while stuck in traffic following fourth of july fireworks. I was pregnant with their brother and they knew I had a baby in my belly. They were 6 and 7 and it occurred to the older one to ask, "But, mom, how did the baby get IN your belly?" :silly:

That was an excruciating traffic jam...

Oh, and their reactions to my explanation -

older daughter - "that's interesting"
younger daughter - "no, it's not! It's gross!"

7. I told my dd when she was 4 and asked, "daddy planted a seed in my tummy"

she was fine with that, thank goodness.

I fear what's coming though. ;)

6. LOL! Well, when I was a kid, I thought there was only 1 virgin

"The Virgin Mary"
I thought it was a title, you know like "Christ"

So when I was asked by a boy in the 6th grade if I was a virgin, I was confused and said, "no".

[mzmolly]

9. Hee hee.

:hi:

I only wish I hadn't corrected her jumbled incorrect version of the song, in which she replaced: "Round yon Virgin Mother and Child" with something like: "roundja beerjin moda an chiel" :P

Remind me never to correct her again!

[elehhhhna]

8. Wait til she asks about the "round, young virgin".

[arwalden]

14. It's Not Round John Virgin?

[mzmolly]

17. Heh, No. I actually looked up the words today.

I thought it was "Round YOUNG Virgin"

Guess were all a bit in the dark. ;)

[arwalden]

19. Hmmm...

Silly us.

[skygazer]

11. Then there's that famous incident

In which my son, age about 10, told me that, "sometimes I like playing with my friends but other times, I just like playing with myself."

Try to keep a straight face through THAT!

12. It's cool your daughter knows the right words

When I was six I thought the word was "birchant". I had no idea what that word meant, either... :-)

[Coventina]

16. "We Three Kings" was a hard one for me.

I always wondered where the magical land "Orien Tar" was.

[last_texas_dem]

18. I thought the exact same thing!

That's pretty funny.

And of course, non-Christmas carols were just as bad. I'm pretty sure I had about half the words wrong on "The Star Spangled Banner"!

[TrogL]

13. So is Aunt so and so a virgin?

Enquiring minds want to know.

[mzmolly]

15. I believe she is?

;) I can't say for sure, and I hope my daughter doesn't ask LOL.
