"Mama, What Does Sperm Look Like?"

Last night my 8 year old son got a little curious about sperm. 

SON: "So what does sperm really look like?"


ME: "uh... uh... kind of like a tadpole." *pulls up pic of tadpole on iPhone*

SON: "Yes but do you have a picture of sperm?"



ME: *pulls up drawing of sperm on iPhone*

SON: *eyes wide* "That looks like that hurts!"



ME:  "It's microscopic. You can't even see it without a microscope."



SON: "Well that's a relief, otherwise it would hurt coming out. So you can't even feel it when it's coming out, can you? How do you even know it's coming out?"



ME: *turns to husband* "Uh babe, would you like to take over the conversation from here?"



HUSBAND:  *turns to me* "Nope! You're doing just fine by yourself!" *grins*


ME: *facepalm*
