“Live in different cities!”

You know what?
I hemmed and hawed and was tongue-tied for about 10 minutes, and she kept saying, “But you’re not answering the question!”.

Sheesh.

I had purchased a book written for kids, with comic characters, explaining exactly how people “get” babies. I had not thought I would need it so early in her life, but I finally took the damned thing down and went through the book with her. I really just did not know what else to do. Perhaps she was a bit young for it, some folks told me she was and I had done a terrible thing. But 1) I never noticed any terrible results, and 2) she never had a problem talking to me/asking me about anything, and 3) I figure farm kids know all this stuff by the time they’re five or six and they don’t suffer any apparent ill-effects, so - I just did what I had to do, and didn’t worry about it.
