from the annals of 'oh, shit, kids and sex'...

[mickeym]

In all my !!!!! over packing and the debate and everything last night, I forgot the share the absolute highlight of my day yesterday:

Matthew: "Every girl hates me."
Me: "...I doubt every girl in the wor--"
Matthew: "All the girls in my school hate me."
Me: "I seriously doubt it, honey. They're just like you: not sure what to say/do."
Matthew: "I don't want to die a virgin, mom."
Me: "...!!!..."

WE WERE IN THE CAR, people! I WAS DRIVING!

Seriously, it's a testament to my driving skills that I didn't wreck, because if there was anything I was expecting him to say? It wasn't THAT.

*headdesk*

Definitely need to reiterate the "always use condoms, always!" speech.

I can laugh 'cause I am not and never will be a parent, therefore my gigglefit cannot come back to haunt me. ^__^

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

Never EVER say 'never'. *g*

[thehighwaywoman.livejournal.com]

O_O

YUP. Pretty much my reaction. *Still* pretty much my reaction, when I think about it *g*

I need an icon likes yours. F'r realz.

Well, remind him that grade school and high school are things to be endured and that college is much, Much better. In many ways.

(And I saw him in the pic you linked to. He's got nothin' to worry about. There will be a girlie that will cotton on to that sweetie. *grin* My sympathies to you though!)

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thanks *g*

[nopseud]

Dude, I'm afraid I'm just utterly gleeful that at least one genuine teenager somewhere in the world has actually said 'I don't want to die a virgin'. Now I feel totally justified in using the phrase in fiction :-)

{squishiehugs}

(Also, you should tell him that he's *seriously* increasing his risk of dying a virgin by making comments like that when you're trying to drive.)

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

Suuure, be gleeful over my pain. :P I'll just send him to stay with YOU for a while :)

And yeah, I did mention that saying things like that while Mom is driving isn't the best way to ensure a long life. *g*

[pensnest]

Well, he made this woman very happy, but not quite the way he had in mind.

*giggles*

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

Pbbbbbth to you, too *g*

[benitle.livejournal.com]

I think your kid is absolutely priceless. :)

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

Glad you think so :) Want him, for a while? Just, maybe 'til he's 18 or so? *g*

[cormallen.livejournal.com]

Awwwwww HONEY that's absolutely priceless! *smishes*

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh. Want him for a while? 3-4 years, maybe? o_O

[cormallen.livejournal.com]

Well... if you're prepared for who you'll get back. Even my cats are jerks, which, I think, describes my parenting skills in a nutshell. *g*

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeek!!! Keep strong, bb!!

At least he's sharing his fears with you ... right?

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

...right. *g*

Sometimes, though. *headdesk*

[ihearthings-ii.livejournal.com]

ahahahaha. *Pats shoulder* Good luck!

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

Thanks, ever so *g*

[munibunny.livejournal.com]

Hahaha! Matthew is adorable! *hugs*

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

You want him? *g* Just for a few years? :)

[azephirin.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahaha! Oh, Matthew, every teenager in the world feels your pain. :)

Seriously, though, it says a lot about his level of trust in you that he was comfortable saying that! I mean, God knows I thought it (or something very similar to it) when I was that age, but sex was NEVER anything I discussed with my parent-types.

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

I've encouraged open dialogue with him on any subject since he was old enough to talk. I wish I could say "eep, it's come back to bite me on the ass", except I am glad he feels like he can talk to me. It's just the two of us; we gotta stick together, y'know?

[tabularassa.livejournal.com]

OMG I love your child! LMFAO

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh. How much would you love having to deal with him 24/7? *g* I could send him to you, so you could figure it out... ;)

[tabularassa.livejournal.com]

Bring it, baby. LMAO ♥

[meinnim.livejournal.com]

You have mad driving skills. I would have choked and then veered off.

Oh Matthew.

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

Well, I did choke. But thank goodness for 24+ years of driving experience, y'know? *g*

[ladyvyola.livejournal.com]

Never mind me. I'm just over here pointing and laughing.

::relaxes in the comfort of permanent aunt-hood::

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

I'll just be over here pointing and laughing when your nieces/nephews decide "ooh, I think I'll ask auntie this..." :P

Well, I'm the one who's already providing 4 year-old Nicky with his choice of sparkly lip gloss. He favors the brownish tone on his upper lip and the pinkish tone on the lower.
