I haven't posted for a few days - I've been a bit of an indoor cat - but here goes with a variation on an old theme. Please let me know what you think.

INT - HAPPY FAMILY KITCHEN - DAY
MOTHER washing up while DAUGHTER (11) is finishing off her tea at the kitchen table.
DAUGHTER
Mum, what's "the birds and the bees" mean?
MOTHER makes an involuntarily large splash in the washing bowl.
MOTHER
Er... I'm not sure this is the right time.
DAUGHTER
Everyone at school goes on about the birds and the bees but I ain't got a clue wot they mean. Please Mum?
MOTHER
Well, er... ok.
MOTHER takes off her marigolds and sits down.
MOTHER (CONT'D)
When two people love each other very much - like me and your father - um... well, er, The man has a penis, and, er...
DAUGHTER
Get on with it!
MOTHER
Yes. Quite. He does. Anyway, the man puts his penis in the woman's, er... thing, and -
DAUGHTER
(light bulb moment)
Oh! It's sex! We did that at school!
MOTHER
(relieved)
Yes, that's it! When people say "birds and bees", they mean "sex".
DAUGHTER
(proudly)
I did it with Mr Jackson.
MOTHER looks a little concerned. DAUGHTER interjects.
DAUGHTER
Don't worry Mum! I'll save my virginity!
MOTHER looks relieved.
DAUGHTER
We only had anal.
