So we were reading the book Beazus and Ramona. The author describes Aunt Beatrice as " pretty and gay". McKenna says "did you say gay?" (note that we have read a number of books over the past year that used that word appropriatly meaning "happy") I responded, "Yes, it means happy. why?" McKenna slowly says, "well I heard that it means something else.I heard that it means when a boy marries a boy." At which point Drew joins the conversation with "yeah...what's the girl one?....." I am praying he doesn't remember "....oh yeah...lesbian!" I our following discussion I learn that the boy next door has informed my children of these definitions, for no apparent reason. I proceeded with the "if someone tells you something you didn't know before or I haven't told you, please come and discuss it with Daddy or I becuase we want to make sure that you have the correct information. And then "this is not God's plan for marriage and since it gose against God it is sin like, cheating, stealing, lying and every other sin." AGHHHHHHHHHH!!! So NOT happy about this. I HATE being forced into discussions that neither of us are ready for. McKenna is too little to have to discern this stuff and Brae was there too, which makes the whole thing even worse! PLUS, I think the parents won't think there is any big deal about this so I'm not even sure that I should approach them. Am I crazy!?!? |
