"The Talk"
If this was set up in the world of Maggie, I would structure this talk in a very laidback way. The scenario being that the mother and child be in a setting of nature. The child randomly coming home on a sunny spring day from middle school and asking "Mom, where do we come from? How does the process really work. Please, lets get down in the nitty gritty of it because I am very curious." The mother would be so down, because, let's all face it, this a day that marks the books in its own innocent way. The mother and child would go outside on a long walk, maybe go to the park, or a bike ride- something along the lines. The mother would say "Well, sweetie, two people fall in love and create something so very beautiful by being passionate. They get passionatie and make love on their own terms and in private. Biologically, a male and females parts being intimate together make a baby. That baby is planted in the woman's body and grows over a period of time." Of course that would be in a perfect world, and that would be very slim because the child is going to catch you off guard. I think it naturally flows through us humans and we tell it in our own special way and make it special for the child.
I am going to share my story on how I learned about where humans came from. I came from a strict Catholic home. I went to a private school and we had a class called "Gifts and Promises" in 5th grade.This religous structured class talked about where babies came from. My teacher never mentioned the word sex, vagina, or penis. This class talked about how God has everything planned for every single one of us in His own special way. Everything was referred to a Bible verse on how this Earth came about. In our household, sex was never talked about it seemed and very taboo, which is a little strange, I know. I have two older sisters and an older brother. My sisters were very curious and gained their own knowledge on a deeper level of sex and intimacy. Their knowledge got passed down to me and we would talk about it and chuckle.
