It can be a joy to have "the talk" with your pre-teen and teenager children, especially when their inquisitive minds don't stop spinning.
A nurse known on TikTok as "The Spicy Mum" posted a video expressing how her daughter had concerns for her brother about his puberty experiences after a school session on puberty.
A mother was in stitches on TikTok after her daughter returned home from a puberty talk at school and began questioning her teen brother about his 'boners.'
The Australian mom, known online as "The Spicy Mum," shared her story on the video app, explaining how her 11-year-old daughter had recently received a puberty lesson at school.
However, her naturally inquisitive daughter had some questions about what happened to guys and turned to her adolescent brother for answers.
The mother stated that she began by discussing wet dreams before questioning her brother about his personal experiences.
She explained: "She looks at me in the car when I'm driving home and goes, 'Mum, you know boys get wet dreams?'. And I'm like, 'Do they honey? Yeah'.
"She then proceeds to look at her 13-year-old brother, who's going through such an awkward stage of life, and goes, 'so when you see an attractive girl, do you just get a boner?'."
The mom had no idea how to reply and couldn't contain her laughter - but her daughter wasn't done with her interrogation.
She added: "She said, 'so in the morning you wake up with a boner?' He so swiftly and confidently turned around and said, 'it's called the morning wood'."
While the mom described the whole exchange as “another moment of holy s–t, you’re a mom to a teen” moment – she found it incredibly funny.
“I love having kids, they’re hilarious,” she laughed.
TikTok fans found the story amusing as well, but many also praised the mother, who works as a nurse, for her open communication with her children.
One user wrote: "I would say that the way your children communicate this openly with each other without embarrassment is good parenting on your part."
Another added: "Being open and honest, it's the best way to go even though it's hilarious. I don't know how you didn't burst out laughing when they were talking."
A third wrote: "Teenagers are the BEST. I think it's my most favourite age of parenting."
A fourth added: "Brother and sister conversations are the most real education you can get."
