Again With the Sex Questions?

LA Daddy | October 23

L.A. Toddler doesn’t ask 400,000 questions a second like most kids her age. Not that she’s incurious - if you ask her what books she reads and she can actually tell you - but she’s more likely to give you one well-placed bomb of a question to knock you out. She’s crafty like that…

She’s four years old. And at an age where she’s trying to figure out who she is, where she came from, and how this whole thing works. Last night, at the dinner table, she asked L.A. Mommy, “How did I get in your belly?” Her mother had just reminded her of when her sister, L.A. Baby, had been in her belly at this time last year.

My wife looked at me with that look that says, “Oh, no. Here it comes!” But she recovered nicely and started telling the story. We were married back in 2003 and L.A. Toddler came along in 2004. She told her, “Daddy and I fell in love, and we loved each other very much… and then, we had you.”

So, L.A. Toddler decided to fill in the rest, “And then you loved each other very much and you had my sister!”

Both of us automatically let out that single, sharp laugh that states, “No, you’re not even close…” When my wife and I decided to have a second child, I was ecstatic. I couldn’t wait to have lots and lots of sex — without a condom! It was gonna be great!

But… we got pregnant on the first try. The very first time! Needless to say, I was disappointed. Sure, everyone was patting me on the back like I was some stud, but I was pissed. Seriously. Pissed. One time? Are you kidding me? No fair!

So, my wife looked down at our lovely daughter and patted her cheek and said, “No, daddy didn’t love me very much. He only loved me once and then we had your sister…”

Man, that hurts.

14 beefs about Again With the Sex Questions?

  1. ha ha. what a cute story. you could still love your wife uncovered for the rest of the pregnancy though, right?


  2. Ha! Yeah, but it’s the principle of the matter.

    I wuz robbed!


  3. Yeah, that happened to us too. Surprised enough that he told his friends about it and was dubbed having the michael phelps magic.


  4. ahahahahahah….he only loved me once! hilarious. still, she is lucky to get knocked up on the first try! It’s taken us over a year and still no fetus. Maybe we don’t love each other as much as you two …ahahahahahahha… but maybe my husband is just trying to drag it out. lol


  5. You were robbed. I feel your pain.


  6. Very funny! I didn’t realize how my poor husband was robbed — our 2nd was also a “first try” baby. I think he was hoping it might take months or years:)
    My daughter is a a bit younger than yours, but she has lately taken to putting her stuffed animals in her shirt and saying she is going to have a baby. Good Lord! I’m definitely not ready!


  7. haha..good question lil girl! ..Always love mommy dad!


  8. That’s hilarious. 1 Time huh….interesting. You hear about such things…like, we only did it once, 1 time, and she got pregnant…but, a planned one, that took 1 time….amazing.

  9. I think you missed an opportunity to tell you daughter something real about sex. At four I told my daughter )when she asked) that the mommy had an egg and the daddy had a sperm and the egg and sperm got together to make a baby. That’s it. She didn’t want to know how they got together for years, that was enough. But then when she was ready to hear a little more detail, I could name some parts - and stop. Wait a few more years, give a little more information. But I think I have probably just shocked the pants off a bunch of people here. So maybe I just want to say to other parents, “They’re your kids so however you want to talk to them is the best way.”


  10. that is hilarious! your wife wins best comeback award!

    i feel your pain. I got pregnant on the first try with baby #2. it was shocking and disappointing at first too.


  11. This is hilarious! Great post, my husband would really appreciate this.


  12. I’m gonna apologize for this ahead of time…

    I hope you can at least say, “Me love you LONG time!”


  13. I too was happy to leave the condoms in the drawer when my wife and I decided to start trying for a second.

    But then her friend got engaged and set a date for oh, about nine months from now, and instead of putting the rubbers back in play the wife is just ignoring me.

    A guy gets all revved up for months of sex …


  14. Wow - what a great site AND NAME! Love it!

    And I had the same problem too - 1 time and done. Man!
