I don’t know what punt means, I thought a punt was a flat bottomed boat.
But I would answer questions if they arose, on a penis or any other matter, as I know my daughter shares my views on being open and honest whilst being age appropriate. After all, it’s how I brought her and my son up.

Punt the ball away. As in soccer.

I answer "age appropriate" questions openly and honestly as well.

The OP touched on that - what is age appropriate for small children? For me, viagra and sexual orientation are not appropriate Gram topics - subjects best left to my daughters. I don't even know how to age appropriately answer "what is viagra" apart from "tablets" - full stop.

I agree with you, Norah. As with anything else related to bringing up their children, it’s up to my offspring how they want to answer these questions. Oddly enough, I don’t always know best. I’ve followed all the instructions re baby led feeding and length of naps, etc. Why would I risk going against what they would do when it comes to sex ed? It’s not my call. So unless I’m absolutely sure how they’d respond, then yes, I would go down the route of diversion or ask your parents. I’d let the parents know what they’d asked though.

I always keep things simple for young children, so their Viagra queries are easily answered. They are pills for men who feel tired.

Well, exactly, chestnut.

Follow what parents say. Funny moments when M aged 5 asked about difference between her front bum and her brothers. brother. Mum said well you have lady parts so that you can have children when you are older and they feel nice sometimes.
.... Satisfied with this, she made open classroom enquiries about lady parts..

Talking of lady parts, my 7 year old granddaughter told me they are reading The Faraway Tree at school, and wondered why Fanny is now called Frannie. She knows the book well because we have already read it at home. So I had to explain why the name Fanny is no longer in use. She hasn't asked why Dick has been changed to Rick yet.

I bet that confused the teacher when she told her the correct name was Fanny and why don't you call her that!

I think we will all have to go with the flow, there’s no turning the clock back.
In the 80s my ma in law used to shudder in horror and change tv channels if a heterosexual couple kissed. We have come a long way since then

Yes Chestnut God Damn those Americans who stole this obviously popular female name and started using it to describe female genitalia 😤

No, Granmarderby, that was us. The Americans stole it and started using it to describe a backside.

well in that case *Maggiemaybe I’m not sure which is worse.
Fanny pack or bum bag anyone🤔
