Kids are growing up WAY too fast (funny/disturbing)!

My son (he's 9 1/2) just told me that he likes wearing pants that are too big where the crotch hangs down halfway to his knees because when girls look at him, they will assume he needs the crotch to go down that far because his pen!s is so big.

WTH?!?!

WHERE did he get that idea and WHY is he even thinking about those things?!?!

Please tell me I'm not the only one with a child that is growing up and learning these kinds of things so early. Surely someone else has a similarly funny/disturbing story?

  • Today while going for a hike my 3 year old dropped his pants and tried to take a poop... I had to squash that idea but first I took a pic to keep for his future wife lol

    That is crazy that they are already thinking about those types of things! The world is so much more of a sexual place now a days. Yikes! Then again at 12 I think girls were stuffing their bras when I was growing up for the same effect lol

    My 4 year old told me not to kiss him goodbye in front of his girlfriend when I drop him off at school. I did it anyway, of course.

    My son will be 11 at the end of May. According to him, he's already had 4 girlfriends and "dated" the same girl twice. Now, mind you, he's never seen any of these girls out of school.

    Anyway, we were all watching T.V. and he saw Carl's Jr. newest commercial with Kate Upton in it and he said "when I see her, my penis goes BOING!" (while shooting his finger up in the air). Lord help me. LOL

    I just took my 8 year old for her well visit today and she already has breast buds. I am so not ready to have that conversation yet!

    My 13 year old turns everything into something sexual.

    I don't have any stories like yours though.

    I did find out that he shaves his toes. That's kind of amusing.

    My 9yo daughter has a "boyfriend" which was cute until they started holding hands. He comes down to our house and picks her up to go play at his house. I get more scared everyday about how far this will go.

    Is this what I have to look forward to? Really?? I thought it was bad enough that our 4 year old will just try to pee off of the deck whenever he has the urge to go... or farting, farting is his new favorite thing.... ack.

    When my son was about 4 or 5 he was very upset because there was something wrong with his penis. He was very scared and nervous and told me that sometimes in the morning his tinker gets *big*! That's ok son. One day you'll be glad it does.

    I don't think that the kids are growing up any quicker now than they did 40 years ago...It is just that we are older now...so we notice it more. I remember being 9 and having my mom fight with the department store clerk that she shouldn't have to pay tax on my bra's and feminine products because I was under the age of 10. (back then in CT there wasn't tax on childrens items)...I was so embarassed.

    OH MY GOSH! I know that is the kind of stuff that is going to come from my son. He just turned 6. I think the most shocking thing he ever said was while walking down an aisle at Walmart. I said I was looking for Tiger Balm and he said, "Why do you love Tiger Balm so much?" I don't remember what I said, but his next question was, "Do you love it so much that you want to marry it?" Then he immediately said, "Do you love it so much that you want to have sex with it?"

    I think I nearly fell over. He was 5 at the time. I didn't know what to think. I asked him if he knew what that meant and he said no and that he had heard it on TV! It sounds vaguely familiar to me, but I can't place it!

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the farting thing never goes away. The Boy is almost 10 and The Hubs is 42. Farting will be funny well in to old age with boys.

    One day I was in the living room and my daughter and hubby were in the bedroom sitting on the bed watching t.v. and my daughter Anna goes I want a bathing suit that will cover these and grabs her chest. Her daddy was so embarrassed his face turned red. When I came to the bedroom my hubby told me what she said and I busted out laughing.

    Last year in Kindergarten Anna had 2 boyfriends and one she said that was her best friend Scarlett's boyfriend too. I dread to see the teenage years. YIKES!!

    They don't all grow up that fast...my 11 year old boy has no interest in girls yet, and he doesn't want to hear anything about the birds and bees yet. Won't be long, however....

    The first-grader I babysit was upset about something one night and was having trouble sleeping, so I asked him if he wanted to talk about it. He apparently was having trouble juggling his boyfriend and two girlfriends. He wanted to break up with one of the girls, but was afraid of hurting her feelings, and his boyfriend (whom he really liked) didn't know about either of the girls and would probably be mad if he found out and he just didn't know what to do.

    Yeah, I was expecting him to be afraid of the dark, or something.

    My 8 year old has already been married, divorced and back together to the same girl he's been dating since kindergarten. It's cute and all but it'll be weird when the innocence is gone :-/

    When my 9 year old daughter was 6 and watched High School Musical for the first time she just stood there holding her hand over her heart i asked her what was the matter she replied (while gawking at Zach Efron) he makes my heart go bang bang bang inside. I was thinking oh god I am in for it. Now that she is 9 she already owns a pair of three inch heels that her 20 year old sister bought her for her b-day, and i found her applying make-up and strutting around her bedroom. Having a 16 and 20 year old sisters doesn't help matters..
  • I don't think this is anything new, repeating the person above 'you just notice it more because you are older". I remember being in kindergarten having conversations about sex (my mother, along with a few other childrens' moms never did the stork story, it was 'when a man and a woman love each other very much, some parts of daddy and mommy connect to make babies"). Granted, it was very different than the hormone crazed teenage years talks about it, more along the lines of "I can't wait to grow up and have babies!" and the class paired each other off to have have babies when they were older.

    Most of the kids knew that boys and girls had different parts, and it would come up just like anything else ever. I remember knowing from TV that guys like big boobs, and girls like big penises, but it didn't have the same meaning as when I hit puberty. At alllll. It was like the equivalent of everyone loving kittens and puppies. I wouldn't be too worried. But, I am younger than most here, so maybe things were different for you.

    Okay, another one...

    We were watching a TV show that is usually not inappropriate, but it had one scene where the character got embarrassed because apparently he got an erection in public. My son then asked me what an erection was (he's had the birds and bees talk, but somehow had forgotten the term) and I told him it was his penis got hard, which is something that will happen to him sometimes when he sees pretty girls when he's older. His response:
    "Oh, my penis already gets hard when I see a pretty girl, or when I play with it. I can't wait until white stuff comes out."

    Oh my word. Most awkward conversation EVER.

    My son would kill me if he saw this!!!

    We had a 10th birthday party set up for him and I told him he needed to get his room cleaned up so we could go to the birthday party. I walked back to his room to tell him it was time to go. He was flat out on the floor on his back watching cartoons and playing with Mr Happy. Seriously playing with Mr Happy. I just turned and walked back down the hall. My baby had grown up. LOL

    This won't make you feel any better but maybe he wandered into a porn site online??? White stuff??? 9 years old???
    Did you ask him how he knows about the 'white stuff'?

    After reading all the boy things i'm really glad i have a girl.

    who's 9 1/2.

    and told me other other day she learned all about puberty in school...she says "Mom, I'm going to have these things called HORMONES and I'm not going to be able to control them"

    2 weeks before that she thought she had breast cancer. was asking me a million questions about breast cancer, how you get it, what it's from etc. Then finally a few hours later she tells me "Mom I'm dying. I have breast cancer. There's lumps in my boobs"

    She kind of already knows what a period is all about...I'm sure that discussion will happen...next week.

    He's in 4th grade. They did sex ed this year, and the week before that, I made sure to sit down with him and have that conversation.
    My ex also told him about wet dreams, because apparently my ex's father didn't warn him when he was a kid and he was horrified and terribly embarrassed when it happened, so he knows what it is.

    My son and his friends were hanging out on our deck, they were 11 at the time, chatting about what they had learned in health class that day. It was about penises, erections that sort of thing. One of the videos they watched was a cartoon about erections and when guys get them. Apparently the cartoon characters penis went part way down his leg - this was the main point of discussion between the boys. How big it was and so on. One of the boys finally piped up "dude, we're not done growing yet!!". Oh boy!! (to which I looked at my husband and whispered "I guess you're not done growing yet either?".

    My son's male teacher told the kids that they could ask him anything - my son asked him if he'd ever suffered from erectile dysfunction! That made for an interesting meet the teacher!

    I am not sure about that. I have two girls (27 & 24) and two boys (20& 14) and my wife and I agree that the boys were easier.
    She handled the girls when it came to the birds and the bees talk and I dealt the boys. I don't think I would have known what to tell the girls. hahaha

    My daughter passed her driving test Tuesday. I've let her use the car the last 2 days since I've been gone, but it scares the living **** out of me. I'll have to go through this again in a few years and I don't think my heart can take it.

    They do grow up fast and the thought of my oldest one leaving for college soon is amazing to me. I remember holding that beautiful thing in the hospital. It was the first day of my life that I truly understood what LOVE meant.

    I'm such a sap!
