My baby brother, Frito Ray, has been enlisted by Dalton Gardens Elementary to help give fifth-grade boys “the talk” this week in an event called “Boys Night Out.” Ray told me this morning that he was so impressed with the film and the presentation last year involving his son, William, that he said so afterward. And got drafted by the appreciative school officials to discuss the changes that happen to tweener boys. I responded: “you mean … ” and then listed several possibilities. Ray responded: “Ah-ho …” and more.

Question: Who gave your kids “the talk”? How old were they? How did it go?
