Family Ties/Watch television with your Daddy

"Timmy's been acting weird lately," you say, snuggling up to Daddy's chest. He smells good, not something from a bottle, but a manly smell. You wriggle yourself into a more comfortable position and Daddy gives up trying to pull your skirt down. Why does he care anyway?

"Uh! Pumpkin. You are squashing me." he tries to lift you and now you realise that there is something hard under your bottom. "You and Timmy," he says. His hand is now wrapped round your bare thigh and it feels nice. "Children your age are going through a lot of changes."

"I know all about that," you say. "We do sex ed at school. But we are only nine. Surely puberty wont hit for another year or two?"

He gives you a squeeze. "Everyone's different. I think you may be growing up faster than you expect, but you are still my baby."

"I'm NOT a baby," you say, indignantly.

"No, you're not, and that's the problem. It's all those hormones, making changes and turning you into a beautiful young woman. The trouble is that your brain can't keep up with your body."

"I, I don't understand," you stutter.

He sighs and shifts again. Whatever it is in his pants is pressed against your crotch and sending strange feelings through your body. "You only need to look in a mirror," he says. "You are already developing boobs, and I expect..." He goes a bit pink in the face and looks down to where your panties are on show. "I expect that you are getting new feelings from, err, down there."

• You feel yourself blushing and, scarlet-faced, you jump off his lap
• You feel yourself blushing as it dawns on you that the lump in his pants is his penis
