My wife (now ex-wife) and I were teaching/leading a 1st grade Vacation bible school class at church one summer when my wife had brought some Kiwi's in for a lesson.

I can't remember what they were supposed to SAY it looked like, but my wife held up the little fuzzy brown Kiwi with the little dent in the front that was straight up and down and asked "Now what does this look like to YOU?"

We heard silence, then a little 1st grade boy blurted out "It looks like a PUSSY"

None of the other kids "got it" and said that it didn't look like a cat.

My wife and I however LOST it and had to leave the room.

Turns out the 1st grader had a 13 yr old brother that had educated him on the birds and bee's quite well

My 13 yr old son got "the talk" when he was 10. So did my middle daugter. My 9yr old daughter gets it this summer

I often give my son little "tid-bits" of slang knowledge of terms and what things mean so that he's not caught off guard at school by friends. I would rather it come from me than where I learned it
