You should have seen me sweating bullets today during our discussion of the notebook page assignment for Bigger Week 7 day 2, Lol!
That's the assignment where dc are to copy the picture of the flower from [u]One Small Square: Woods[/u] with the male and female parts and then copy the paragraph discussing how seeds are formed. The paragraph in the book is very clear - short and sweet, and to the point - so much so that I could see the wheels really starting to turn in ds's mind. A few comments he made had me shaking in my boots! I was convinced that he was going to put 2 and 2 together and start asking questions about the "facts of life" right then and there!
Luckily I was able to momentarily distract him and steer the conversation back to flowers...but whew, I am really not looking forward to that conversation, Lol.
On the other hand, lessons like this are probably really good to lay a foundation for the whole idea that God uses a little part of the male and a little part of the female to create life.... Perhaps "the facts of life" won't seem such a shocking idea to him if he's had some of this groundwork...at least I'm hoping.
It's so true....it definitely isn't as big a deal to them as the "anticipation" is to us!!
