Once a week (usually Friday nights, but we had to move it to tonight this week) my husband and I have a nice date night. Sometimes we go out and either have one of our sets of parents or a babysitter watch them, sometimes we just have a very romantic dinner at home after the kids go to bed.
Tonight, my husband and I have a date night of the latter variety planned. My husband wanted to surprise me with what dinner would be tonight, so he got the groceries by himself. While he was out today shopping for all of the elements of our dinner, I was with the kids at home and doing the laundry. Our kids were all in the living room, with the younger 2 playing and our oldest (who's 10) watching a cooking show while he was weaving a potholder.
At one point, the presenter of the show mentioned that oysters (which were in the recipe) were aphrodisiacs. My son immediately asked me what that meant, and I told him that it's a food that's supposed to make you want to have sex. He said gross, then carried on watching. When my husband came home with the groceries, he called the kids over to help him put them away.
After a minute of putting things away, our oldest son yelled "ew!" My husband then laughed and asked what was wrong, and our son said "I know what oysters are for, dad" in the most disappointed tone I've ever heard him use to speak. He's been shooting both of us the most withering looks you can imagine from a 10 year old all afternoon. I think he's not enjoying the day too much.
TL;DR: I told my son what "aphrodisiac" means when it was mentioned on a show about oysters, and now he's grossed out and correctly guessed what my husband and I had in mind after dinner.
