It Takes Two..The Birds and the Bees

Inquiring minds want To know how it all works Ticklish subject A question that can get your Knickers in a twist Especially if they look you in the eye So, I suggest Take them out for ice cream When you get back defer to father/mother Oh, parental duty..spare me!

Barbara, I loved your "take" on this contest. I hope it's ok not to use the exact phrase birds and bees in your acrostic, because I really love how you did yours. Oh, and thanks for your comments on my blog. I LOVE your way of cooking! Luv, Andrea

Dear LNC, I wouldn't want to broach this with grandchildren either. We didn't even have sex education in Catholic school. Unfortunately, my mom wouldn't tell me. She had me talk to my sister who went on and on about eggs, etc. Had to learn on my own. Go for ice cream and defer! Love, Carolyn
