THE MENSTRUATION MOVIE?

This is what I woke up to this morning. SERIOUSLY? Is this really the place I am at in the journey of parenthood? Ugh.

Pyper said she didn't want to go because they would be talking about inappropriate things. Hmmm. Pyper and Elle already know everything there is to know... I mean EVERYTHING. Whenever we have discussions about anything of "this"nature, it is always followed by the "we just talk about this in our home, not in school" talk.

So of course now she's stressed about talking about it at school. Oopps. Anyway- I'm a little torn on the topic. On the one hand- they aren't going to tell her anything she doesn't already know. But I firmly believe that Dale and I are the ones to teach our children about these things. On the other hand this isn't about sex- although, we've already had that talk too. I would definitely say NO to an in school sex talk. Yikes. On the other hand- it's kind of a right of passage in elementary school... all the girls in one room, with an awkward uncomfortable teacher, embarrassed little girls. You know. Plus maybe it's good for her when "the time" comes, to really know that it's not just her.

Truth be told... I'll probably let her go. We're pretty open about all things taboo around here. honest questions get honest answers... no matter how uncomfortable it may make us! It's all a part of our master plan... nothing off limits. We figure if they are asking a direct question, it's because they have heard something from somewhere, and they should be able to discuss it with us. Boy has our plan worked! These girls aren't afraid to ask us about anything!

So here I sit with the menstruation movie permission slip...

You laugh now, but just wait... you'll be staring at yours before you know it!
