Only funny if you’ve seen Juno

Maddie’s in 5th grade and today the kids at school were forced to watch “the video”. You know the one. Back in our day they called it the birds and the bees. Today it’s called Growth and Development or A.K.A. the Sex Education video. After the presentation, the kids were presented with little samples of hygiene products. Maddie said that one boy named Kesley proudly showed off his new deodorant as he sang loudly, “TITANIUM POWERRRRRRRRRRRR.”

My 5th grader will see the film in a couple weeks. It’s a film by Playtex and they really are pushing the tampons (no pun intended!) They basically said that the pads are big and show through your clothes, who wants THAT?? Tampons are so easy, you can wear them all day, yippee! They don’t show, they don’t feel gross, woo hoo! But I really can’t see my 10 year old using tampons. I am so not ready for any of this.
I agree Kesley is waaaay gayer than Kelsey, but they’re both hideous boy names IMO

lisamm- I know! Don’t know what to think about the choices and you should have heard me trying to explain why you need these products. It sounded horrible! I’m sure she’s emotionally damaged for life now.

crystal, what a good mom you are! I handed my kid a book and said, “Talk to me when you’re done” LOL. Ok, I wasn’t that bad, but pretty close! I got her The Care and Keeping of You from American Girl when she turned 9. It goes over periods and all the products and why you need them in a very straightforward manner. She wasn’t the least freaked out about it. SO when she saw the 4th grade movie last year, it was no big deal (”It was boring, Mom, I already know this stuff”) But we have not had a tampon conversation. There is info in the american girl book, with pencil drawing illustrations of a girl inserting one (believe it or not!), so she knows. We just haven’t discussed it.

hmmm…
Ainsley’s only 6 but I already had to explain what the tampons and pads were because she kept asking when I was buying them. Not to mention that she walks in on me while I’m in the bathroom.
I keep trying to tell Zack not to play with tampons. They are always thrown all over the house.
