what is Sex?

At a curious mind my 8 years old daughter asked us What is sex ? She been hearing this word from TV shows, and on some music they been listening to. This is the 1st time she asked us this. As parents we did not know what to say. She kinda answer her own question which she is referring to gender(male & female). It is now a question brought to our attention at to what age we have to discuss this thing to her. She is a very smart girl. I don't want her to find this things from her friends. I know it will become one lesson she will learn in school. Is this a topic that she prefer to hear from me or from her dad or maybe from both. When this time come I hope we can explain it to her with a sense that she will understand.

Being a parent is not easy. You can't predict what question(s) that your kids will asks. Kids now are very smart in their own way.
