My children Liesl, Kurt, Martha and Brigitta are sitting silently in the dentist’s waiting room, filling-out their health questionnaire. Kurt glances up and asks the million dollar question every parent dreams of being asked in public:
“Mommy, what are Cialis and Viagra?”
Me, clearing my throat, thinking very fast: “Drugs. You aren’t taking any.”
Kurt: “What kind of drugs?”
Me, thinking very fast at a G-rated explanation of erectile dysfunction: “They’re for adult males who have sexual problems.”
Liesl: “Gross…”
Martha: “What are adult males? What sexual problems?”
Me: “Males about the age of Daddy?”
Brigitta: “Daddy has sexual problems?”
Liesl: “Oh, look at the time…”
Me, looking at the receptionist in despair: “Isn’t one of the kids due for a cleaning right about NOW?”
Sex-ed in the 21st century: it’s all about opportunities. They are literally everywhere.
