When they start to ask the tuff questions...
Time to sell the Kids!

LoL! I read this and immediately thought of the scene from The Blues Brothers! "Your women. I want to buy your women. The little girl, your daughters... sell them to me. Sell me your children."

I actually came in contact with my friend's cousin's son who my friend had to explain what gay was. He sorta kinda new for a five year old I guess because the family is so big and these kids are growing up in the "NOW" generation. My friend's boyfriend's nieces were explained to too even though they were a little older but it's now more funny in the end then anything. My friend explained that it's when two boys like each other like (my friend "S") like (her boyfriend "J"). The funny part was me going the whole time men "S" men. I like men. Cuz my friend was also pointing out names like the Jonas brothers and I'm like shhh...they're boys (underage 18) LOL. Yeah it was interesting but they seemed more cool with it than adults tend to be.

Back in '03, when my dd was just turned 10....we were sitting on our beds at WDW. She had been feeling really sick so we went back to the resort with some teen mags in hand so she could rest. After about an hour or so, she turns over and says..'Mom, what does gay mean?? Cause you always tell me to figure out a word's meaning by looking at how it's used in the sentence and that just isn't working here....the kids are making fun of someone and telling him he's gay. I don't think he's happy...so what is he??'
Oh my....here it is. I told her that there are a lot of people out there that prefer to be with others of the same sex.....like a guy wants to be with another guy instead of a woman, and there are women who want to be with oter women and not men. And that they even get married and adopt kids. She absorbed that and just said 'oh'.
I told her that there was nothing wrong with that...that she even had family members that are gay. She was astonished. I told her her aunt was a lesbian and her uncle was also gay. Her response??? "Well, I guess that's why Uncle Barry only brings guys to the house with him!!!.

Simple is always best.

Yep, I echo the votes for simple, honest and straightforward. I find that young kids these days are prepared to take it all in stride without any phobias unless we make a big deal of something.

Explain that it could mean 2 things
1) that you're happy. merry. but that people probably meant it that
2) there are 2 people of the same ex (2 men or 2 women) that love each other like a Mom and a Dad.

Had this conversation MANY times. give those 2 def. and leave it at that and just look at them - like any other questions - sometimes that's all it is... wanting the def.
