生命知识 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?”
每当孩子们问我问题时,我总是试图坦诚相告。可是,有天晚上,我那六岁的儿子彼得把我难住了。他在晚饭时冲回家来,突然问道:“妈,结婚会使人怀孕吗?”
“不,”我说:“结婚不一定会使人怀孕。”
“那么,”他追问道:“你是怎么怀孕的?”
我不想在吃饭前讨论如此严肃的话题,于是答道:“彼得,这事儿一时半会也说不清楚。”
彼得的小脸上一副调皮模样,他歪着头说:“你也不知道,是吗?”
