""What does '69' mean?" he wanted to know."
""I took a deep breath and described it and almost died," she wrote, recalling the split second in which she scrambled to answer while maintaining her composure."
""Then he goes thanks mom. I already knew what it meant but I just wanted you to feel awkward.""
""I'm thinking, 'How am I going to describe this technically, without going into too much detail,'" Hertel tells TODAY.com, laughing at the memory. "I'm in doctor mode, explaining the whole thing, only for him to look at me all serious and go, 'Mom, I know.'""
Iowa mom Shari Lynn Hertel told her son Levi that he could come to her with anything. On a Sunday drive after church, 15-year-old Levi asked what '69' meant. Hertel paused, took a deep breath, and began a clinical explanation while trying to stay composed. Levi then revealed he already knew the meaning and had only asked to make his mother feel awkward. A sleeping six-year-old in the backseat prevented a more complicated conversation. The exchange attracted strong reactions from other parents who shared sympathetic and humorous anecdotes about similar awkward moments. Hertel emphasizes openness in conversations about sex and drugs with Levi.
