Sometimes I say something and I'm late because of what actually came out of my mouth. Kind of like I'm surprised by myself. You know that? Well, I know it very much... it happens to me a little too often.
At the kitchen table Anieka, Alanis, Amelie, Cees and I. The girls are tinkering and once again we are amazed at all the events in the world that we see passing by on the internet.
“Well say..., listen to this! A road worker was completely freaked out when he saw a woman lying in the forest.”
“Oh...”
“It was just not a woman, it turned out to be a sex doll.”
Cees doesn't look up or around, as you might expect from a man, he's too focused reading other facts that are actually a waste of your time. So no reaction from him, but three girls look at me with a smiling touch.

“Mom? What is a sex doll?”
(Look..., this is one of those moments I was just talking about...)
“Uh... yeah, uh, well, a doll for grown-up people.”
“Ommeuhhh, do this?” Anieka makes a circle with her thumb and forefinger and puts her other index finger in it. “You know, this!”
Amelie and Alanis are almost under the table of laughter. “Oh Niek”, says Laan, “we know what you mean!”
Anieka has grown half a meter from her being a hands-on. Proudly she looks down on her sisters who are recovering from their laughing crap.
“Hey, Mom?”
“Yes, Niek?”
“Can you show a doll like that?”

(What is that when I read it out loud??!!????)

“Uh... well okay then...”
Let en Laan sit up quickly, Anieka comes up next to me.
I scroll as quickly as possible between the images on my mobile while trying to avoid the dolls with clear intentions. I find a male, still somewhat decent.
“Look, this is a blow-up doll. This is a man, you also get them from women.”
Anieka points to the white area in the photo;
“Is that, uh..., hihi, that's his...?”
“No, Niek, that's the price tag! So, and now you're doing crafts again!” #kinderpraat #kinderen #opvoeden #seksuelevoorlichting #vraagenantwoord #nieuws #kleinepotjes #seks #lachen #opvoeden #onvoorwaardelijkeliefde #mijnlevenalsmama #boerenland #frankrijk
