Does any other breast...

How to have the birds and bees talk

My step daughter’s mom is not in her life and it’s really about time I give her this talk. She doesn’t know what sex is yet so what is the best way to have this convo? Without making her feel awkward and without it sounding awkward coming out of my mouth lol. She has had crushes on girls too. How did you guys do this?
