It's Complicated . . .

So last night the kids and I watched a movie – It’s Complicated. It is based on a divorced couple where the man cheated and got married to his younger adulteress. Then he and the exwife end up hooking up and by the end of the movie, the ex spouses end up NOT together – go figure. Anyway, at one point during the movie the exwife, Merle Streep, is talking with her best friends about her love life . . . or lack there of.

Now I know many may be thinking I am crazy for letting the kids watch this but most of “adult humor” was tame and I have found that by watching it together, this actually allows the kids to ask me questions and facilities conversations about sex that they would probably never bring up on their own. I have found them very helpful and the kids are so much more open to talk about the taboo sex topic.

Anyway, during the scene where the friends are talking one of the women tells the group that she had read a story about a woman who had not had sex in so long that her vagina actually grew back together . . . at which point Andrew leans over to me and says “Mom, that is probably going to happen to you if you don’t start dating again”. Great . . .
