Oh gosh, haven't we all faced this moment. Wouldn't a book of the answers be a fun read? You've turned the moment into a cute flash and were saved by the bell. Well done.

LOL. That's a quick and easy way of escape, passing it on to Dad. Parents really do need to prepare for - and even anticipate - the inevitable questions. A humorous and well-written story for the Flash contest. Best wishes.

Hi GoWiSt, kids can say the darndest things, and they spring them on you when you least expect it. Luckily, Amy was saved by the bell, and then she passed the buck. Nice twist at the end. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck.

Very nice choice of topic. Every parent dreads "The Talk." This was short but told a story. All the elements are there: a beginning, middle, and end. Your choice of art for the story is great. I found no errors. Best of luck in the contest.

And that my brothers, my fellow men, is what it means to be a dad. Being a dad you get stuck having to try and explain the subjects mom would most like to avoid. Heaven help you if you get it wrong and the child ultimately has to go to mom for clarification.

Saved by the front door. You really don't need to be blindsided by this question. It takes a bit of thought on how to answer. Who knowing what his day might say. Very cute flash. It should do well in the contest.

This was very cute and could definitely have been a real conversation between a child and parent, I like the way she passed it off to her husband to answer.

Talk about the old "Duck and cover" escape.

Nobody taught us anything when I was a kid. We all learned from dirty magazines. Ha!

Now kids seem to know everything by middle-school. Eeesh.

Good read

Lol!! Just in time, the father can tell his son all about how two cells come together and form an embryo and I'm sure no matter how many parents have tried to explain it, it was puzzling to a child. Fun story!
Best wishes in the contest!
