So I came across this as I was going through my dad’s stuff. That is what happens, I will be working steadily, making progress going through stuff and then I run across something that makes me pause. Although, this did not make me pause so much as laugh. I laughed and knew that I wanted to save it and look at it later so I just set it aside. When I opened it I laughed again because I forgot about the paper illustrations. When I first opened it I just flipped a page or two. I still haven’t read it. I figured I was pretty up to date on its contents. I did glance at some of the text as I was taking pictures. When I was young, this is how I found out how babies are made.
I don’t remember sitting down and reading it with my mom or my dad. I don’t remember talking to them about it. But I do remember having asked if I could look at it at least once. I remember it was on a shelf in the living room. But I don’t remember anything else about it.
I didn’t remember how long it is. It goes through the “bees” part of the “Birds and the Bees” first. Then it gets to the “birds” part, as you can see, using a paper chicken to help illustrate the explanation. Then it goes onto dogs. I did not photograph the entire dog section. Nor did I take pictures of the entire human section. As I said, I didn’t remember how long it was. Originally, I was thinking I would take pictures of the whole thing to post, but I was thinking that it was just a few pages. Ha. Much longer than I remembered.
The pictures are not great, but I am not really trying to have you learn about the birds and the bees here, I am just trying to show you this little book. I didn’t show the end, I figured you knew how it turned out. I am just sharing this blast from my past.
Anyway . . . how did YOU learn about the Birds and the Bees? Do you remember how old you were?
