Wot so funnee!

My seven year old son went on his first residential trip earlier this year. He went to an outward bound centre with the school for three days and had a fantastic time.

The day after his return, we were driving to school as normal, when we had a slightly bizarre conversation.

R: Justin Bieber is gay you know!
Me: Really?
R: yes definitely!
Me: Why do you say that?
R: Because he is!
Me: Do you know what 'gay' means?
R: Not really!
Me: Oh OK, well I don't think its really a good word to use. (trying to avoid that conversation)
R: So what does it mean then?
Me: When two men or two women like each other.
R: (after a thoughtful pause) What like me and H at school?
Me:(now wishing I hadn't started this) No not like that, not friends more than that, like mummy and daddy, but say two men or two women.

R: (spotting some girls walking down the road) Is that the girl O used to go out with (O is my teenage son)
Me: (glad of the subject change) Yes I think so.
R: Were they sexing?
Me: What?
R: Were they sexing?
Me: what exactly is sexing?
R: You know? (grins widely)
Me: (slightly concerned) Do I?
R: Yes, kissing and cuddling and stuff!
Me: Right, OK, where have you got this from?
R: The girls that came on the trip with me!

Well, seven year old girls know a lot more than I did at that age, that's for sure!!!
