today is the official first day Ryan hinted that he knows the meaning behind the word ‘sex’. He got a student dictionary in class today (all 3rd graders did). I’m not sure if he was prompted to look it up on his own or not, but when he came out after school he said ‘daddy this dictionary even has bad words in it’. He even knew the page number! He said go to page 299 and you’ll see the word SEX in there. Fortunately for me, it’s definition strictly referred to the male / female gender. Not the ‘other’ meaning.

But so it begins. He already knows the word. And he knows it’s not your everyday word. Where do we go from here? I don’t know. But he’s only 9…and this scares me!! Lol
