Funny story from school
We have a male and female teacher at our school who have been dating for a while. The children don't know this (supposedly).
The other day, Kate, aged 9, said to her teacher 'I am so fed up! Those children over there keep talking about sex'.
'Oh', said the teacher, 'what are they saying about it?'
Kate (airily) 'Well, apparently Mr Jones and Miss Brown are having it'.

Eww! Sex, how GROSS!!! That
Eww! Sex, how GROSS!!!
That is too funny, really. Children are so aware of things sometimes.

It makes me think of the show that Bill Cosby used to host, "Kids say the darndest things." I'm not sure if it's still on television but it always made me laugh and realize how aware children are. They really do know everything that is going on around them and they are not afraid to mention it!
a little knowledge is...
a dangerous thing! We recently had a rather strange dinnertime discussion (just me and the kids) about the difference between gay, transvestite and transsexual. There are clearly some dodgy conversations floating round their school at the moment!!

detachment
fortunately I've never had to deal with any of that (transvestite and transsexual particularly) in my personal acquaintances, so I think I approached it with a healthy degree of detachment and made sensible comments. If I actually had to face it head on I might struggle more with it. I guess that the majority of my acquaintances will be family people and inevitably that will mostly rule out anyone who isn't fairly hetero. Must've been a shock for you Lynn!!
just had to remind DS8 1/2 not to use words he's not sure of the meaning of since what was coming out of his mouth was a racial slur which certainly didn't come from me. Why aren't kids' mouths fitted with a special filter?? Oh yes, it's called a brain and they don't use it, I remember now!

a recent discovery
A man I used to sort of date (long story) is now a woman. I was a teeny bit floored. I'm hoping she's happy now. My behavior at the time was such that I am making amends by staying very far away from him/her, so I doubt we'll ever be able to talk about it.

ha!
Well, my dear, that shows how few people of that bent you know--and I would bet you know more than you think you do. Most sexual-minority folks are fairly family-oriented.
Every year we go to the Pride parade. Someone asked me, do you cover the girls' eyes, or how do you handle it? I replied that the two biggest contingents in the parade are the Welcoming Congregations--churches who've made a commitment to welcoming sexual minority folks into their midst--and PFLAG, the Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, which contains a large number of little old ladies. Many are the baby strollers, and children are in quite a few of the marching units. Yeah, there's usually one giant blow-up phallus, but the days of assless chaps are long gone.
