Sex: Everywhere we look
These days, it is so difficult to raise kids in a clean environment. We try to keep sex and violence out of the house by not watching much TV. We never put on Fox news, CNN, E!, Discovery or National Geographic channels while the kids are around. But, it seems like the world is hell bent on teaching them about birds and bees. Here are just a couple of examples...
On Saturday, we went to the zoo. It was Adit's first visit. The first ever zoo exhibit that he saw was of "African Wild Dogs". The mommy and daddy wild dogs promptly demonstrated their process of making baby wild dogs.
In Ashwini's Butterfly garden, the caterpillars turned into cocoons and finally metamorphosed into butterflies last Friday. Since yesterday, they have been showing us how to make eggs to make new caterpillars.
Wonder what we will witness next...

I guess these things have always been around, its just the kids nowadays are sharp to ask more questions and curious to get answers :-)
