Conception by Licking

This past Monday, my darling Greta's eyes were opened just a little bit more.

As we were driving to a friend's house in Keizer, she spied what she thought to be a cute, playful moment between two adorable little dogs.

"Mom! It's so cute! There's these two dogs, one bigger than the other, and the smaller one put its front two paws on the bigger one's back and started licking its back! Isn't that so sweet?"

"Um," I searched for words, "I think they're, um, they're doin' the tango, if you know what I'm sayin'."

"Huh?" Greta asked.

"They're having sex, Greta," came the blunt, knowledgeable reply from Gabby.

"What? Don't they have to be lying down to do that?"

"No. That's how most animals have to do it," I explained.

Greta thought for a moment, then asked,

"By licking each other?"

This may be too much info, but if the 2am "knock at the door" included being licked on the back I might deck him as well as throwing the "Are you kidding me, go to sleep!" comment at him!

i'm not even joking for a long time i thought you got pregnant from kissing! i didn't have my first real kiss till 8th grade, after i went through sex ed which taught me you clearly couldn't get pregnant from kissing. it was then i learned you only got pregnant from licking. at least thats whats happened each time adams licked me.

very cute post!
