生命知識 Facts of Life
I have always tried to be open and honest with my children whenever they came to me with questions, but six-year-old Peter caught me off guard one evening when he bounced in at dinner time and asked, “Mom, when you get married, does that make you pregnant?”
“No,” I answered, “Getting married is not what makes you pregnant.”
“Well,” he persisted, “how do you get pregnant then?”
Not wishing to get into such a serious discourse just before dinner, I answered, “Peter, it's a sort of a long story.”
Within an impish look on his little face, he cocked his head and replied, “You don't know, do you?”
每當孩子們問我問題時,我總是試圖坦誠相告。可是,有天晚上,我那六歲的兒子彼得把我難住了。他在晚飯時沖回家來,突然問道:“媽,結婚會使人懷孕嗎?”
“不,”我說:“結婚不一定會使人懷孕。”
“那么,”他追問道:“你是怎么懷孕的?”
我不想在吃飯前討論如此嚴肅的話題,于是答道:“彼得,這事兒一時半會也說不清楚。”
彼得的小臉上一副調皮模樣,他歪著頭說:“你也不知道,是嗎?”
