Wow 9 years old?! Why do kids know about things this young? I'm 23 years old and I didn't know what sex was until the 8th grade. This is so scary that our society has gone to this. Wow, that totally baffles me, 9 years old. Did he/she come to you and ask you?

Thanks for this insightful information into this.

Im often baffled by some of the things I overhear the kids at work say, being before/after school care the mix of ages means that it gets even more jumbled. Often I find myself having to speak with parents along the lines of "Today I overheard your child and a few friends _____"

Some of my 'favourites' if you will, come from the younger kids, usually when theyre in a circle giggling and I walk by and overhear a bit, before they stop, stare at me and get embaressed.

"And the baby grows inside the boobies, and thats why boobs are so huge"
"Daddies have peepee milk and mummies have boobie milk and they mix them together"
Were two that i'll never forget, both by the same group of 6yr olds would you believe, their parents have since spoekn to all of them.

From about 8 onwards I find that they start becoming more aware about sex, so the sex jokes come up often ("Go rent a girlfriend and get a room" was one that I found quite witty, the mere fact that she told this boy to rent a girlfriend, that said, I had to speak to her about keeping said opinions to herself) Oh and that joke was made by an 8yr old.
