Grace at dinner last night, Border Cafe. Does she look five or fifteen? I was totally unprepared for the question that came up as we were walking back to the car: “Mummy, how do the baby seeds get into the mummy’s tummy?”

Hell-o. Thank GOD for you, Jennifer Hawkins! Armed with our conversation just last week about how you broached this subject with Clemmie, I dove right in head first. We talked about the actual names of the organs involved, and had a quite general conversation about what goes on. Grace immediately responded with, “Yuck, Mummy, that sounds yucky.” Excellent deduction, I say.

Jesus. This is happening awfully fast! And I am wholly unqualified!
