We all go through these, sometimes they're a big deal.
Tomorrow my 9 year old daughter will go through one. All 4th grade girls know about "The Movie". They giggle about it at lunch and out at recess, they've heard all the rumors about what they will 'see'. I remember doing that myself, when I was their age.
Tomorrow is the big day where all these young ladies get a taste of womanhood....they get to see the puberty movie....all about the menstrual cycle.
YIKES!
Now, I've already had this talk with Michaela when she started on the Lupron shot to STOP puberty. She got it, she understood, she asked appropriate questions, but this was done in private and she was told to keep it private. Because, at the time, none of the girls her age were having these issues. I'm certainly not against the showing of this movie, it's rather harmless. Corny, yet informative. I went to the Parent viewing so I would know what she was seeing and to anticipate how she would react to what was shown.
I'm not sure if I've ever mentioned that my lovely daughter does not have a filter...she tells it like it is and has a comment for everything. Funny, but THIS is where my small bit of anxiety is, not the topic or content of the movie, she'll be fine with that. OH, but, God only knows what will come out of her mouth....well, actually I have a good guess.
I soooooo wish I could be a fly on the wall!

Okay Laura I can totally relate to this because Amber was the same way. I literally walked through her childhood ready to cover her mouth. I have to say there were alot of times I was glad I didn't know what she would say. Ignorance is bliss.:)
I am smiling a little bit because Ari also has no filter so I get it. God, I should keep a journal of the stuff she's said...and it's usually to people's face...like to a little person who was our waitress... "oh your such cute little lady" and then obsseds about her the rest of the night...or to our tax guy (who is short but not like the little lady) "why you so small?" Well, good luck with the video...at least whatever comes out of your mouth will give you a little sniker ..you just know it.
My son has the same exact problem with diareah of the mouth. He always says EXACTLY what is on his mind. It is scary. That is where Caleb and the teachers would butt heads. They just didn't get that he couldn't help himself.
It's funny because before, he wouldn't care what he said, but now he looks at me first and if he sees the hairy eyeball, he tries to restrain. Not always successful, but at least he gets it.
It would be funny to be that fly on the wall! I would love to hear what she has to say...plus just to see adults reactions to it...that is always the funniest part. Abi also has no filter. I am waiting for that "movie" myself Hannah and Michaela are the same age, but we haven't heard about it yet, I guess by the end of the school year though...
