Oh man does this bring back memories!
I didn't homeschool until jr high age, so my kids were in public school until then. In about 4th grade my son had had the anatomy lessons in school, and the topic of "wet dreams" came up but wasn't explained to his satisfaction. He too was (and is) the kind of boy who seems to feel he can ask Mom anything...

So he came home one day bouncing off the bus and sees me working in the yard. He yells across the lawn "Hey Mom, do you know what a wet dream is?" I was very glad we lived in a rural area with no close neighbors!

I wish we didn't have to inform the kids so young, but agree with Marilyn that they need to know from parents before their friends start talking.
