As parents, we realize that there are going to be times when we must have an awkward conversation with our children. It is up to us to decide when we will reveal certain facts about life to them and when we will hold back, according to their age and what they really need to know. This is also a responsibility that sometimes falls on the shoulders of grandparents, and they do their best to make wise decisions in this regard as well. The grandfather in this joke made a decision but was it the right one? You’ll have to read on to find out for yourself!
An 8-year-old girl went to her grandfather, who was working in the yard and asked him, “Grandpa, what is a couple sex?”
The grandfather was surprised that she would ask such a question, but decided that if she’s old enough to know to ask the question then she’s old enough to get a straight answer.
Steeling himself to leave nothing out, he proceeded to tell her all about human reproduction and the joys and responsibilities that go along with it. When he finished explaining, the little girl was looking at him with her mouth hanging open, eyes wide in amazement.
Seeing the look on her face, the grandfather asked her, “Why did you ask this question, honey?”
The little girl replied, “Well, Grandma says to tell you that dinner will be ready in just a couple secs.”
