We are four museum educators in a day-long retreat looking at some good websites. It is great to see a parent dealing head-on with contemporary art and kids. We will use your example in our museum.

Tracey -- I can top you on the "finding my parents' sex toys" front. My brother and I got ahold of my mom's very lifelike vibrator and decided it would be hilarious to let the dog play with the um ... bone, so to speak. So our family dog goes prancing out into the living room vibrator in mouth, to find my mother, who is, of course, livid, but also secretly a bit amused. I was probably about 12 at the time and my brother probably 9 or so, so we were certainly old enough to know that was not an appropriate chew toy for the pooch!

Chet, that's a great story. Wonderful ammunition for first date embarrassment too!

Dude, I remember finding my mother's vibrator. Ahem.

That aside, I guess living in a place like New York presents opportunities and challenges that living somewhere less interesting couldn't possibly. How cool to have access to so much though. I live in the deep south and that exhibit would never even darken the doorway of any museum in these parts. It's a shame.

Sounds like your kids are handling it well and you're navigating this tricky territory with much aplomb! I'd be so shocked I'd probably laugh until was safely out the door with them.

Too funny! Sometimes there is no right answer and other times no wrong answer. We recently had to deal with my five year old finding my husband's Playboy magazine and hiding it in his room! I am stillnot sure how to explain why mommy's "nickels" don't look like the ones on the "hot girls".

Sex keeps finding you Trey. I just "used" you on my blog again. You are quite the expert, after all. Thanks!

Great answer - from both you and Chet! But yeah, sounds like Grimaldi's was needed. :)

Well, with all that giggling, at least you know it didn't scar them for life!

I lurk here sometimes, but finally had to comment...my husband and I went to a modern art installation at the Denver Art Museum a few months ago and saw that same female sculpture! We were fascinated too! Although we did not see the guy with the penis...maybe that is a good thing...
