Really great suggestions, everyone. Thanks!! Plus, these stories have me in stitches. I had to read them to DH last night because I was laughing so hard.
DS does spend a lot of time studying anatomy sketches so he is already familiar with the names of all of their parts and their functions. Now I just have to make it clear about when it is appropriate to talk about these things. He asks me about my eggs with some regularity now.
Knowing more about the details is only going to make him talk about it more. He's one of those kids who is always thinking out loud so appropriateness is often challenging.
Now it's time for my own little embarrassing story:
This is part of what prompted this discussion.
Two(ish) weeks ago, I was sitting in a crowded, but quiet waiting room with both DC. Out of nowhere, DS suddenly exclaims (in a fairly loud voice),
"Oh, I thought the mom of the octuplets had WAY more than one uterus!" You can only imagine the stares I received after that!
Don't know where that thought came from or why . . . Hmmmm??
