That is epic!

Honestly, explaining sex/babies doesn't scare me, but explaining the whole menstrual cycle has me a little put off. At least my daughter won't have to hear that whole religious nonsense reason for feeling like shit every month.

I kind of admire the fact that it's considered a children's book. I think a large part of our Sex Ed problem in much of the world is the insistence on lying to children about what happens. I don't think that there's any reason why we need to tell a 4 year old exactly what's happening when mommy is pregnant, but I do think avoiding things involving storks would go a long way.

The kid looks like a circus dwarf being cannoned out. It leaves me wondering where the safety net is.

I especially liked the obligatory reference to goatse man.

I wouldn't have thought goatse man would have any influence on sex education, but now I think I may have been wrong about that.

I for one salute Goatse man and his contributions to advancing the cause of the prevention of colon cancer.

He certainly does have a way of making rectal examinations a hell of a lot easier.

The sad thing is that if our healthcare reform package didn't pass that was our plan B for preventative care.
I don’t get the whole mentality of it should be up to the parents to decide. It’s not the parents that have to live hindered by lack of information forcibly kept from them. I mean in an ideal world schools wouldn’t have to teach the bulk of it apart from what would come up as part of other classes, parents would, but then in an ideal world people wouldn’t need to be educated at all and were simply born with the knowledge, or at the very least it would take only one person to teach them everything. We have schools for a reason after all. And sex education isn’t there just to fill in a lack of information, it can also correct misinformation which carries with it a whole host of other problems.

Eh, most kids will see animals do it. It doesn't seem like it's that much of a stretch for kids at that point.

Most? Perhaps if they live on a farm, but for the rest of us, seeing animals have sex is just not common. I think even now I can't recall having seen that even once.

I take that back, I did see a pair of eagles mating once, but that's hardly informative.

Geez, doesn't anyone at your house ever watch a nature show?

No, I was too busy trying to find boobs in the national geographic.

Lol, the best day during that time was finding a torn up Hustler when I was thirteen. Kids these days really do have it better:)
