Mum left speechless by daughter's questions after attending school sex ed class: 'Do you just get a boner?'
By Merryn Porter |
Most parents would agree sex education is an integral part of their child's development. It is often delivered to students around years 5 and 6 by specially-trained experts who attend schools.
But an Australian mum and nurse was left gobsmacked after her 11-year-old daughter came home from school ready to impart her new-found knowledge about sex.
And it didn't end there, with the youngster even questioning her 13-year-old brother about 'boners' before he clapped back with the perfect response.

The mum, who goes by the name The-spicy-mum on TikTok, took to the platform last week to tell her followers about the encounter.
"So I got to experience another moment of 'Holy s--t, you're a mum to a teen," she began.
"My 11-year-old daughter is getting the puberty talk at school, and that's fine, we are pretty open, we can talk about that stuff. I'm a nurse, so bring me your questions.
"But she looks at me in the car while I'm driving home and says, 'Mum, ?do you know boys get wet dreams?' And I'm like, 'Do they honey?'"

"And then she proceeds to look at her 13-year-old brother, who's going through such an awkward stage of life and says, 'So when you see at attractive girl, do you just get a boner?'" ?
The woman admitted she didn't know "what to say to that," and while she felt for "the poor kid," she still found it "hilarious."
But the awkward exchange wasn't over yet.
"She then proceeded to question him and say, 'So in the morning you wake up with a boner?'. And he so swiftly and confidently turned around and said, 'It's called the morning wood.'
"I love having kids, they're hilarious," she ended the video, which has so far been viewed 874,000 times and racked up more than 104,000 likes and more than 1000 comments.

"I would say that the way your children communicate this openly with each other without embarrassment is good parenting on your part," said one, while another wrote, "That's actually a great family relationship."
"Being open and honest is the best way to go, even though it's hilarious. I don't know how you didn't burst out laughing when they were talking," another said.
Others praised her son's handling of the situation. "OK, your son deserves a high-five for the quick, unphased comeback."
"Brother and sister conversations are the most real education you can get," wrote another.
?Others shared their own experiences. ?
"I'm the teacher that has these conversations with awkward teenagersกญ. They are just as hilarious," said one.
"My daughter comes home telling all the information she has learned from school, we have a giggle about the way she tells us," said another.
"A single dad with a 16yo daughter. Some interesting and challenging conversations," wrote another.
Others said parenting teenagers "was the best" but others said they weren't sure.
"I'm not ready for this," said one, while another wrote, "Noooooo, mums shouldn't know these details!"
