In one of my favorite scenes in the Sex and the City movie, the gals sit around their favorite brunch table with Charlotte's adopted daughter, Lily, and attempt to talk about sex without using any graphic words. They end up improvising by comparing it to "coloring." While it made for a hilarious rift in the film, talking about adult subjects in front of children is always dicey. Most parents create their own grown up lingo, spell out the naughty words or reserve inappropriate talk for nap time. How do you keep the conversation rated G around your lil one?

That scene was really funny. I don't have kids, but when I used to babysit, I generally just used grown up lingo around the kids. With a well-placed wink or nod, the other adult will understand what you mean. It's almost fun.
