Colonial Style

There is no topic of conversation that is off limits in our house. I have always wanted my kids to feel comfortable coming to me with anything. So, whenever they have come to me with a question, I have always answered, age appropriately. The following is an example of the kind of kids you end up with when you parent this way!

It is early evening. The baby and boys have gone to bed. Joe, the girls and I are settling into the living room for our favorite shows. We are switching from National Geographic's, "Doing the Deed Colonial Style," when Sarah's head whips around to face her sister.

"Wait!", she exclaims. "Did they have condoms in colonial times?"

"I don't think so. I seriously doubt it," Tori answers.

Slightly annoyed, Sarah asks, "Well, why not?"

"Because!" Tori retorts, "They aren't going to be all like, walk down to Ye Druggeth Store and buy me thine condoms and Ye Old NuvaRing!"
