The Question That Stumped Me

Twelve years ago. Paige 9 years old, Gracie 7 years old. PAIGE If bees have the fertilizer for flowers to make them grow, and moms have the seeds and dads have the fertilizer, why can't Aunt Trissy grow a baby? ME (thinking...good question...followed by a simple explanation) GRACIE So, if you need the fertilizer from the dad and the seed from the mom to make a baby, how does the fertilizer get to the seed? ME Well,...(providing an age appropriate and anatomically correct explanation of sex)...that's how. (Man, this is easier than I expected.) GRACIE (looking confused) So, what position did you and dad do it in?"
