The Birds and the Bees

They both dreaded that day, Having to Explain to their only child about the Birds and the bees In stepped mom with the flowers Ready to explain all about pollen and fertilization Dad looked bewildered, rubbing the side of his head Stating, “Did I forget your birthday”? While eyeing the flowers Anxiously he said, "No! Don’t tell me your are pregnant again, I Doubt I can go Through this again," Having to sit there and Entertain herself the daughter decided to ease their pain… Both looked traumatized when she Eventually said, “I know all about being in love, all about sex, it’s part of our curriculum Even the difference in male and female anatomy gets explained” So mom if you are pregnant, I can tell the baby all about the birds and the bees one day!!" Contest: The Birds and the Bees Placed: 8th

Clever , clever , Wilma and this WILL do well . It reminded me of the young lad who asked his embarrsed parents "where did I come from". 20 mins later ,having explained the whole intimate details to the shocked lad, Dad asks why he wanted to know . The boy replied;there's a new lad in our class , and he says , he came from England !!!!

Great write, funny! Enjoyed reading it this cool and rainy Saturday afternoon! It gave me a smile! Once a father said to his son so look out of the window and you should do it the same way as these to dogs outside once you're married. The son got married and his father asked him if it would have helped what he once said. And the son answered: Oh, yes, dad, but it was so hard to get my wife out into the street! ... Sorg baie goed vir jouself en voorspoed! ...Gert:)

Very original and funny...I tried to explain to my son too and it was not easy. He was only like 6 at the time...
