Description
I think what Kelly really wanted to know was why her big sister acted so goofy when cute boys were around.
This is a rather awkward conversation that everyone has experienced, either on the giving or receiving end if not both. I remember as a kid I did NOT want to hear about it, at least not from my dad. He knew this and understood the concept of a "captive audience" so he tended to bring up embarrassing subjects when I couldn't get away, like when we were driving down the highway.
Actually, some families avoided the subject all together. My mom was seven when her baby sister was born. All she knew was that they were "expecting a baby" and little more than that was said. She and her siblings helped prepare the baby's stuff and so forth, but the mechanics of it weren't explained in the slightest. She had no idea why her mom was getting "fat," or why she suddenly became "thinner" when the baby came from... the hospital? I don't know. Basically, she had to wait until they talked about it in school several years later.
I hope this is not too spicy for the TOS. If it is, I may just do spaceships from now on.

Made me laugh out loud! Too spicy? You're kidding aren't you? This was funny and great, thanks for the memory lane trip... wink
Fantastic & funny! this should be at the beginning of every Sex-Ed class
Concerning the TOS: Did you write OVIDUCT without warning?! This is archetypical. Millions of teens suffered the same (mostly at school) and wondered why the adults didn't get the point. :)
Not that I mind spaceships, but this is hardly racy and is a necessary talk. It should come from the parents, but it should also come from the schools (each year starting at first grade with age-appropriate knowledge). And I agree with Faemike55, that this comic might help break the ice for the "discussion".
Ha! By the time my parents thought of telling me this, I was already there.
