I’ve been back in school for three weeks now, but my BABY BROTHER is about to start college…yeah, the quarter system people are still on summer vacation.  I’d be more jealous if I didn’t also get out in May.  At any rate, because back-to-school sales are hounding us at every corner, I thought it was time for something more scholastic.

Coming soon: tales of The Talk.

That’s right.  Whether it’s abstinence-only sex education or its more promiscuous cousin, abstinence-PLUS sex education, many parents still feel compelled to give The Sex Talk.  I highly advocate this in families other than mine (something many children feel), as it opens the lines of communication, and let’s not get overly political here, but perhaps if there were more communication, we would have less need of “parental notification” legislation.  But, again, that is hotly debated and would be better stowed for another day.

In the meantime, I’d like to share with you some of my friends’ experiences with The Talk.  My parents bought me a book, and there have been mini-talks over the years, but never a full-on talk.  Others?  Much more entertaining.  Stay tuned.
