When I wrack my brain for examples the gold-standard in parenting, I don't often think about 80's metal bands.  In fact, I don't ever think of 80's metal bands as good examples of much beyond proper eyeliner application and why spandex is wrong in so many ways. 

But to my surprise, some of those ertwhile made up and spandexed out rockers are now parents - and pretty good ones by the sound of it. 

This morning, I came across an article penned by former GnR bassist and current dad of two girls (one 8 and one 11), Duff McKagen.  After learning that some of his daughter's classmastes were "joking around about sex", McKagen realized he had to have "The Talk" with his girls. 

Check out his blog post on Seattle Weekly, The Birds, the Bees, and My Daughters.  It's hilarious and - if you're a parent - will certainly make you realize that you're not the only one dealing with this!
