| can you, or should you? |

In the car on the way home from Costco today, Jacob asked me this question:"Mommy, can a person get pregnant if they're not married?" I answered in the affirmative, and asked him why he wanted to know. It appears he was curious about the timeline of things. I told Jacob that it's really hard to be pregnant and have a baby, even if you have a spouse to be your partner. But some women do get pregnant without being married -- sometimes by accident, and sometimes because they really want to have a baby and haven't found anyone they want to marry. (I decided six is too young to have discussions about turkey basters and homo- versus heterosexuality.) He chewed on that for a minute, and then asked me how people actually get married. So I told him about our wedding, and he seemed to enjoy that. I also said I could show him pictures from our wedding, and he said he'd like to see them. But then we got home and he discovered the Wallace & Grommit video I'd gotten the boys at Costco, and he forgot all about it. |

lol...I think you handled the situation brilliantly. Wish I had been that quick thinking!

Just be thankful he didn't ask these questions in line at Costco (answering them with an audience can be quite entertaining for the rest of us!) and that he didn't ask to see the honeymoon video.
