Standing in the shopping line, my daughter points to the condoms' section and asks: (#5) “mom, what is that used for?” I blush, turning as red as the tomato sauce bottle I’m holding. I look around to make sure the whole shop didn’t hear the awkward question that should be dealt with in the birds-and-bees conversation at home.

(#2) “You said the other day it’s a pencil case, but dad said it’s used for keeping cucumbers clean.” My daughter continues, unbeknownst to the curious customers turning to look at us.

(#3) “And grandma said that that’s why I’m here because you didn’t use it”

The frown wrinkled onto her forehead. (#4) “but Sarah at school said, it’s used for sex.”

My daughter looked up at me and with honesty reflecting over her childlike face she asked: (#5) “mom… What’s sex?”

I've never had children, but I've said all of the above (except number 5) to my parents. I will remember the pain I put on their faces, for the rest of my life. I was sorry when I said them, and I will be till the day I die. Sorry Mom and Dad.

I don't actually have a child - but my flat mate is expecting and these are what I wouldn't want to hear her child say to us as we'll be expected to baby-sit - LOTS!

The Daddy comment is because I'm a woman in a same sex relationship (no small-minded, abusive comments on that please) Oh, and it's meant to say "Which one of you is THE daddy?" not MY daddy! D'oh!
