Yikes! Puberty.........on its way!

Gosh, so I was wondering why my seven year old has a comment for everything that comes out of my mouth. I now know why..........

So I am in front of my computer at home wondering why I still have so much junk email even though i use all kinds of blockers when she shouts out "Mommy smell!". I turn away from the monitor to see her with her arm up to the sky motioning for me to smell her pits. Like yuk! The thought only equals the actual odor that this skinny little kid emits!

"So that means I get to use deodorant?" she says. I sense some joy and pride that I wish would go back from wherever it came from. That also means I have to get into "Mommy Mode" and a lecture is necessary. No, ....not the birds and the bees yet. My god, I dodge the "how are babies made" question every couple of weeks. It seems the fascination never grows old. No matter how much I use the clinical terms, I sometimes feel she just wants to know about the raw sex act. The graphics of that are yet to be revealed by me. I still think too young.

But wait, she is getting pretty close though. I was able to curb the excitement of the "Deodarant" joy when I went on to talk about the growth of pubic hair and getting a period. I was secretly pleased when she got really grossed out, her expression was priceless. It was kind of the same pleasure I get when she says she does not want to get married or have kids. I tell her no, but I am really very elated........although I know its all about to change. She now thinks that guy from High School Musical, Corbin, with the crazy hair is cute. Well I guess I am partly to blame, you see I like guys with crazy hair too, dreads are number one in my book. .........Gosh now I have a feeling I already know what i am in for, somebody get me some pills -I feel a headache coming on.....!
