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!!"

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:)
