I don't know...how old is she now?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

She is seven.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nah, it's pretty adult in various ways, as I recall.

Same here and there are certain things I am just not ready to explain yet.

Pro: Good experience, probably a good memory even if she doesn't know what it all Means yet. Con: Might be hard to explain that they say stuff she can't say in school and at Grandma's. Analysis: It's probably good I don't have kids right now.

I find your analysis faulty in that you have listed pros and cons and gave it thought.

And no, she already gives the flipping hairstylist ALL the lowdown on Doctor Who. The last thing I need is for her to give someone a dissertation on The Woman Who Loved to Make Vaginas Happy.

I was chaperone to a 7 year old at the birth of her youngest brother. That was fine. VM? Some stuff will fly over, but there might be new concepts you aren't ready to broach (I dunno, never seen VM.) It is amazing what you think they miss and then it sneaks up on your ass. Childbirth is One Thing. OTOH, sometimes early exposure percolates in healthy ways.

Also, I never saw the whole thing. Not all the way through. Much more exciting than the school-board meetings I got dragged to when I was her age. But maybe in a few years. (I think that would be hard, because moms make decisions eleven-million times a day...if all of them were that considered, we'd all die.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Aims, I've never seen VM, so caveat, but having read the book, which I think is a transcription, I'd say don't take Em. There's some stuff in there (about rape ) that was very disturbing to me, and I'm old and experienced.

The Woman Who Loved to Make Vaginas Happy.

That's my monologue! Heh. Possibly the most fun I had on stage in the history of ever.
