To that nice, older couple who complimented my daughter at lunch today, thank you. When you turned and gushed, “She’s so cute,” it was as much a disruption as I could ask for.
Just to refresh your memory, mine was the little girl who asked, “How does your belly open?” And I was the one who asked, “What do you mean? When you eat?”
And she said, “No. For the baby to come out.”
Thank you for your Impeccably timed remarks, distracting me so I didn’t have to answer.
Standard answer to questions like that: “Ask your mother.”
Did you spill your soup, or spit out your coffee. I would have and we only had ONE daughter, who learned the answer a long time ago.
Tell both girls in excruciating detail how babies are made and how they come out. After such a discussion at the dinner table, our daughter said she would adopt and our son said he was going to become a baseball player/priest. Our daughter replied, “Oh, you can still get married. Once you tell your wife what you have to do to have a baby, she won’t EVER want to do anything like that.” Best birth control method – scare them with the facts.
