I had to get up my nerve to ask a question, since it wasn't as “normal” as I thought.
“Peter, the German word Geschlechtsteil means ‘sexual organ,’ doesn't it? But then the male and female ones have different names.”
“I know that.” “The female one is a vagina, that I know, but I don't know what it's called in males.”
“Oh well,” I said. “How are we supposed to know these words? Most of the time you just come across them by accident.”
“Why wait? I'll ask my parents. They know more than I do and they've had more experience.”
We were already on the stairs, so nothing more was said.
Yes, it really did happen. I'd never have talked to a girl about this in such a normal tone of voice.
I'm also certain that this isn't what Mother meant when she warned me about boys.
All the same, I wasn't exactly my usual self for the rest of the day.
When I thought back to our talk, it struck me as odd.
But I've learned at least one thing: there are young people, even those of the opposite sex,
who can discuss these things naturally, without cracking jokes.
