Well, it all began one night, approximately March 4, 1994, your dad and I had had a little bit too much to drink and….
Watching TV with my 12 year old daughter and a commercial for the DVD of “Knocked Up” plays:
Guy: “A girl can’t get pregnant if she’s on top.”
Other Guy: “Yeah, it’s against the laws of gravity.”
Oh boy.
Me: “Reagan, yes, you can get pregnant if you have sex in any position.”
Reagan: “How do you know?”
Panic fills her eyes, she quickly blurts out “No, NEVERMIND, I don’t want to know!” (Covers ears with hands, hums loudly)
It was funny, but really, that commercial seems a bit irresponsible to me. How many 13, 14, 15 year olds will see that and assume it is true? Yes, I know it’s a commercial for a comedy, not a reputable source of information for sex ed, but I can imagine the conversation now:
Teenage boy: “Chris told me at school, that his cousin saw this show on TV and this guy, I think he was a doctor, he said that you can’t get pregnant if the girl’s on top, it’s like, totally true.”
Teenage girl: “That doesn’t seem right.”
Teenage boy: “But, dude, it’s like, a scientific fact, it’s gravity.”

That totally reminds me of a conversation we all had at our book club meeting….

Did you mean to say 1994?

Yes, my head was up my ass on this post. (Okay, at least that’s one way you can’t get pregnant!). First I posted it with the commerical being about having sex standing up. Then I was talking about this (again) with my husband and Reagan and she’s all “No, it’s can’t get pregnant on top, Mom, not standing up” and I heard the commercial again and she was right. So this sucker has been edited 2 times!
Thanks for noticing the date discrepancy, it would have been a weird(er) topic of discussion between a mom and a 3 year old!
