You Can Walk the Walk - But Can You Talk the "Talk"?

I remember as a child, I'm not sure what age, but I remember it, so likely between eight and ten - I must have asked my mother a question about sex.  I don't know when it was, but I don't remember her answering it right away.  There was kind of an awkward silence.  And then she changed the subject.

The next day, I got home from school and being presented with a package of four textbooks about human development.  It was anatomically correct, very scientific and straight to the point.  She told me I could read the books and ask her any questions I wanted to - but it felt clear that the books were supposed to answer everything.
