but good timing is going for Corey's pjs and leaving the room just in time to hear him say dad, what's a prostitute?.

Over to you, James.

*mwahaha* Suddenly, I'm glad I don't have kids. I thought every kid over the age of six knew that...but then, I was a...strange child. Not necessarily a perv, mind you! ;-þ I was just quite mature for my early age, that's all. Ahem...uhm...I was watching the news and other grown-up programming, okay? *shakes head @ self*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

LOL. No need to explain... pervert ;)

He doesn't watch much news and stuff like that as he prefers to read or watch cartoons, which really is fine by me. There's time enough for the other stuff *g*

Hey! I resemble that remark! *grins*

Good point. Just for the record, since you've already revealed to your entire flist that I'm a perv, I'd like to know what James answered....

I would probably have said that "it's someone who has sex with people they don't know for money". And that might have been the wrong thing to say. Once again, good thing I have no kids.

Of course, my sister would probably have said the same. Once her eldest, Sofia (then about 4), saw a crucifix on TV and asked her mother what it was. My sister answered, "a cross" (as we usually call both crosses and crucifixes). Sofia then asked, "what do you do with them?" Carola was a bit tired, and without thinking she answered "hang up men named Jesus".... *mwahaha*

Which is a good thing, I like to hang with my own kind ;)

Well, like I said to Charlie he said it was someone who sold their body for money, which is so vague to be useless. But I couldn't really jump in and add extras by that time.

Your answer sounds fine to me, just the right amount of detail for his age.

I think we've all been there with those kinds of answers, maybe not that specific kind though *g*

*nods* Same here.

He'll probably ask again if he wants to know more.

Maybe I'm preparing myself for motherhood? I have done some out-of-character and maternal things lately, like watched adoption documentaries and applied for a job at an adoption agency....

*grins* Lovisa, the five-year-old used to 'talk to God' every Tuesday after her cyberfriend died. There's hope for those kids still...even though they play with my handcuffs and whip when they visit...and they play War of Warcraft.... ;-þ

If that's the direction you want to go in that's cool. I think you'd be a great mom.

I decided at age 15 to not have biological children, for physical/medical reasons. But every time I see this one-year-old girl with spina bifida I get these...urges. They're short-lived, though.

I think you'd be a great mom.
Thank you. So many other people seem to do fine, so why shouldn't I?

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

Coward *g*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I know! And in this case I have shame in that *g*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

LOL The joy of being a parent! And considering some of your reading, aren't you the one who's supposedly the best to answer that kind of question? *is still laughing*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Well yes, technically I'd be the better choice to answer the question but like Kim said, I'm a coward *g*

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

*snerk* I'm so glad I don't have any children :-)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I have to admit in cases like this cats are much easier to live with *g*

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

And now I'm visualising Sinbad sitting beside my chair, looking innocently at me with his enormous eyes, and asking: 'What are you doing on the computer all the time, mum?'

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Ahahahaha. That's such a wonderful image. I wonder if he would approve of the answer? ;)

How's he doing btw? Better I hope.

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

He's much better. Still very stiff, but no longer a Sad Cat that just sleeps. He's been pestering me to entertain him and actually attempted to chase a fly earlier today. (I were going to spend today catching up on my flist and then post, but my dad choose this afternoon to make one of his blizt-like visits, leaving me completely exhausted, so I still haven't made it to the posting stage :-)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

That's wonderful news!

I'm so glad he's getting better!

[simply-fly-away.livejournal.com]

You did exactly what I would have done, run for the freakin' hills.

How'd he handle it?

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I'm glad it isn't just me having that reaction. I mean I would have answered if he'd asked me but as he didn't I was more the willing to escape.

James said it was someone who sold their bodies, which Corey accepted, but somehow I think it's going to confuse him more in the long run.

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

How old is Corey, again? And have y'all had the 'what is sex' talk? (even the basic version) If Matthew asked me, I'd have to ask him where he heard that word...and then we'd go from there. And you know I was just teasing about the coward thing (mostly *g*) :)

The downside to having Doug waaaaaaay out in California, is that I'm the one who has to answer all the questions. Meh. *g*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Corey's nine and we've had the basic sex talk. Which wow, is something I'm glad is over with. It's weird, I have no problem at all talking sex and sex related stuff until it gets to my own kid, then I'd rather clean the oven than do 'the talk'

So I totally understand the coward thing *g*

I'll bring it up again when we're alone and things are chilled, I figured I'd do more harm than good jumping in on what James said, especially as he didn't ask me.

Parenting, it's all about walking those lines.

[raynedanser.livejournal.com]

Ahahhhhhaa!!! Oh my. Yeah, that's a good Dad question.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I thought so *g*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_bettina_/]

*g*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It was just too funny *g*

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

LOL! Priceless! *giggles* how did James go?

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Isn't it? *g*

He told him it was someone who sold their bodies for money, which really is a bit confusing I think. But if he asks again I'll elaborate.

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

you're going to tell him there are male and female prostitute, aren't you? *giggles*

[kaijawest.livejournal.com]

LOL!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's one of those moment when I have to laugh *g*

[ihearthings-ii.livejournal.com]

*laughs*

so what did he say? ( assuming he didn't sing the south park prostitute song )

[turps33.livejournal.com]

He said it was someone who sold their body, which is confusing in my opinion. But what can you do? What's said is said.

[ihearthings-ii.livejournal.com]

like, an organ donor or something??

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I guess, something like that anyway *g*

[ihearthings-ii.livejournal.com]

and remember, But a prostitute is someonen who would love you no matter who you are, or what you look like!
