Ladybug: "Why is Juno peeing on that stick?"
Me: "It's a test to see if she's pregnant.
Ladybug: "Is she pregnant?"
Me: "Yes, honey. She is."
Ladybug: "Is she sad?"
Me: "Yes, she is."
Ladybug: "Why is she sad? Doesn't she want to have the baby?"
Me: "No honey, she doesn't. She's too young and still in high school."
Ladybug: "Then why is she going to have a baby? How did she get the baby if she didnt' want one?"
Me: Silence... "Well honey, she did a special Baby Dance and that's how she got the baby. That's why you should never do the Baby Dance until you are out of college and ready to have a baby."
Ladybug: "That sounds like fun, a Baby Dance. I don't want to do it because I don't want to have a baby, but I'd like to know how to do it. I promise not to do it if you tell me how."
Me: (*Sh!t*) "That's a talk we will have when you are 11, maybe 12. I don't think you're ready to know about the Baby Dance just yet."
Ladybug: "OK, Mommy." silence... "Is it something you do by yourself?"
Me: "No. There needs to be a man and a lady to do the Baby Dance."
Ladybug: "I won't do the baby dance with any boys. I'll just walk with them."
Me: "Ok, baby. Walking is fine."

Haha that's not nearly as awkward as my discovery of the baby dance...in second grade my friend's parents had given her the talk, information she decided to share with me over lunch. The funny part is it sounded so gross and stupid I thought she had made it up until my parents talked to me about it a few years later! :)
What a great story!
I learned about the Baby Dance (what a perfect phrase!) by walking in on my parents and from a friend whose mother bought her one of those "teach your child about sex by using cartoons" books when we were about 6 or so and she not only told us all about it, but showed us allll the pictures.
haha, the word verification is "skinchem"
Opps...Well I was saying that that is cutness, and it would go about like that...hmm...i was told about the "baby dance" when i was old enough to listen...funny thing is I still haven't done it...hmmmm..............
Hello! I'm visiting from SwapBot! Thanks for sharing your blog with me (and the warm welcome a few posts back).
What a GREAT story! Definitely a good way to handle it, as awkward as it was at the time. Kudos to mom! :)
