To Worry, Or To Be Grateful? That is the Question!

So last night Grayson asked me if I was a virgin! I would give my left arm to have seen the look on my face. I had to make a very quick decision. Here is what went through my mind: Lie and say "yes" to avoid any more of this conversation. But, he would figure out soon enough that I had lied to him. I do have two children. Ok, so should I say, "That is not an appropriate question to be asking your mother!" And brush him off? Or, buck up and say "No."
I have always tried to go by Dr. James Dobson's advice and give the least amount of (truthful) information to satisfy the child. But in all honesty, I have rarely had to give any information concerning this topic. Brandon has never asked any of these questions. Although, he is not shy about talking about how other kids "do the nasty". So, with Dr. Dobson's advice in my head, I said, "Well, I am married and have 2 children, so no." He looked at me funny and then hightailed it to his room. I really thought this would be the end of conversation for a while, believing that he was embarrassed.
But NOOOO! He had to bring it up again today on the way to a birthday party. Not my virginity, but why one must remain a virgin until married. I told him that it says in the Bible that we must remain pure for our future wife/ husband. I thought that would satisfy him. But NOOOO! He had to go on. "I wonder why God made that a sin?" So, I had to go into all the ramifications of pre-marital sex with him. At this point I am ready for this conversation to end! He just kept on and on. I tried to hide the fact that I was not wanting to have this conversation with him, so as not to give him an impression that it would always be off limits to discuss with me. I did make sure I impressed on him that God created sex for married couples. I really do not want him thinking it is always bad!
Well, he finally said, "This world does not think sex before marriage is a sin." I agreed. Then he said, "I am going to wait until I get married to even have my first kiss. For one, so it will be more special," (19 kids and counting gave him that idea) "...but also, because a kiss can lead to other things. Trust me, I have heard about all those girls at the high school that have made that mistake!"
Suddenly, I am glad that he opened up those lines of communication. He is only 11 and I could have waited to have this conversation with him, but now that we have had it, I am thinking it won't be so hard having more of these types of discussions. (I just hope I don't have to be the one to go into the logistics of sex! Maybe he will ask Frank those questions...) My prayer, is that both of my boys make wise decisions about girls and sex. And I wouldn't mind at all if they both wait until their wedding day for their first kiss!!!
