Talking about “the birds and the bees” with your kids is the parenting equivalent of assembling IKEA furniture without instructions: frustrating, bewildering, and destined to leave someone in tears. Whether it’s deciding the what, when, or accepting that you’re in way over your head, parents often end up turning a teachable moment into a full-blown train wreck. Inevitably, the result is a muddled conversation that leaves kids with more questions than answers and parents contemplating their life’s choices.

As someone who’s also crafted award-winning humor for over 20 years, I’m always on the lookout for a “magic bullet” that will help inspire my next piece. What many people don’t know is behind every great humor yarn lies tons of research, a healthy helping of incongruity, and a bit of visual flair to drive home the message.
