Kids say the darndest things—but sometimes, their innocent observations lead to moments parents will never forget. For Johnny’s mom and dad, their son’s unfiltered curiosity turned into a story they’d laugh about for years.
It all began when Johnny walked in on his mom in the bathtub. “What’s that fuzzy thing?” he asked, pointing at her pubic hair. Trying not to blush, she calmly replied, “That’s a bush, honey.”
The next day, his dad became the subject of his curiosity. “Dad, what’s that big thing between your legs?” Johnny asked. His dad, trying not to laugh, answered, “That’s a snake, buddy.”
A few baths later, Johnny noticed his mom’s breasts. “What are those?” he asked. “Those are my headlights,” she said with a smile.
Then came the moment that sealed the deal. One evening, Johnny accidentally walked in on his parents in bed. His young brain connected the dots—and he yelled out in alarm, “Mom, turn on your headlights! The snake is going into the bush!”
His parents were stunned—caught between horror and hysterics. It was one of those parenting moments that couldn’t be scripted. And while they decided to wait before giving him “the talk,” Johnny learned that some things are better understood with time.
