Bikini Wax

One day I took my son to get a haircut at his favorite salon. He will only let one person cut his hair. I know, he's a bit young to be such a snob about it, but what can I say? She's hot, she's stacked and she does a great job. What more could you ask for? I'm talking to Elena about the work she did in Hawaii years ago before she came to San Diego. She did some waxing back then, so of course I ask her what it is like to wax "down there". I can't imagine having the cute girl that does my eyebrows wax between my legs. I just can't go there. I'll take care of that part myself, thank you. So my kid wants to know what we're talking about. I have a policy of explaining most everything (within reason) to him because I think the typical American view of sex and nudity is stupid. There is nothing wrong with the human body. So I remind him that I get my eyebrows waxed. And some people like to get other parts of their bodies waxed, like other facial areas, arms, legs and their "parts". I explained it very simply and without any excitement. End of story. I thought.

A week or so later I was at a good friend's house with my son. She was trying on various new clothing items and attempting to figure out which ones made her look fat/slim etc. My son comes in the room and is giving his two cents. As my friend changes pants, my son looks directly at her and says "Wow. You need a bikini wax." OH MY GOD. You have to realize that my friend is wearing very conservative underwear. However, her pubic hair is out of control, growing down the inside of her legs. I don't know who is more embarrassed. I want to die. Luckily, she has a sense of humor and knows my son very well. Kids call it like they see it.
