So the nieghbor lady is taking a nap when she wakes up and her son is taking a book out of her bedroom. She hears my 10 year old son in the bext room saying "Dosen't that hurt the lady?"
When her son returns the book she sees that its a sex manual.
She tells my bride and my bride tells me Junior Hov needs to hear "The Talk"
Now Junior Hov is well educated in animal husbandry, but that dosen't translate well into human sexuality, so Mrs Hov dissappears (how'd she do that? ) leaving me and Junior Hov to have "The Talk."
I've all of 10 minutes to figure out what to say. Fortunately I have a bit of Theology of the Body & Aquinas under my laughable command, so we drive out to the university and stroll through the blossoming campus and discuss love, marriage, Biology and Thomist concepts of procreation and disordered good.
Then we got some ice cream at the University Farm Market and brought home a gallon of 2% milk.
I survived the ordeal

Good on you!
We had
"the talk'
with our kids several times from fairly early on in eaqch of their lives. Seemed easy and natural for us. Our oldest asked much and grasped very much earlier than most kids, but, then again, she was just born older too.

My son laughed - cracked up giggling, until he could hardly breathe - when i told him the mechanics of the whole enterprise. He actually refused to believe it when I told him how little girls were made.

Yeah, if they have sisters they almost immediately get suspicious when told about the "sugar and spice and all things nice". But I managed to make "Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails" sound glorious. In any case understanding the epistemological underpinnings of the Ciconiiformes Ciconiidae origins theory is a good backup.

My oldest is only 7, but we've already started The Process. I personally believe it should be an ongoing educational process as they grow and are mature enough to grasp certain concepts, rather than just a single Talk...but then again my oldest is only 7, so what do I know?

Exactly what he said, even to the age of my older daughter.
When she first started asking, around age 5 I think, it went like this,
"Daddy, you said babies are made from love, but how? How can a baby be made from love exactly?"
"Do you really want to know? Because it's very, uh... weird. It might freak you out. Are you sure."
"Yes Daddy."
"OK, well.... [insert biological explanation of boy parts, girl parts, etc.]"
