I don't know how it happens, but we always seem to have the most inappropriate conversations in our house at dinnertime.
I mostly believe it is more just the girls being naturally curious about life and all of its treasures, rather than inappropriateness, but sometimes it's downright hard to judge.
Take last night for example, Lily stood up on her chair in the middle of dinner and told us what a penis looks like.
"It is sort of long, and has this like shaggy area {arms gesturing wildly} and then like a cap on the top with a hole."
Belle also weighed in, "yeah, it's like this long thing and ohmygod it is so gross....{hysterical laughter}....."
How Lily actually knew the level of detail that her demonstration provided, causes me great, great concern as well as ridiculous amounts of laughter.
And then it was only a matter of time before the conversation took a quick turn to their latest fascination, Truth or Dare.
The other day it started innocently enough with Lily asking "Mom, Truth or Dare?"
"Truth" I answered.
Lily, "Do you pick your nose?"
"Of course" I replied, "all the time." I really don't, I swear, but I do like to see their reaction to their Mother totally grossing them out.
This innocent back and forth turns into...
Belle asking, "Truth or Dare?"
Me answering, "Truth."
Belle, "has Daddy ever touched your vagina?"
No answer.
Lily, "Truth or Dare?"
Me, "Truth."
Lily, "have you ever touched Daddy's penis?"
No answer, but they press on...
How old were you were you did your first open mouth kiss, how old were you when you saw a penis, how old were you when you first had a boyfriend.....
And then Belle brought it down Belle-Style.
Belle, "Dad, Truth or Dare?"
Drew, "Dare."
Belle, "I dare you to go into your room and have sex with Mommy."
Game over.
