one evening, in the midst of dinner preparation, our 10-year-old daughter asked, "mommy, what`s puberty?" my wife was rushed at the moment, so she suggested that peggy look up the word in the dictionary, after which they could talk about it.
a few minutes later, peggy returned. her mother asked what the dictionary had said. "puberty means," announced peggy, "the earliest age at which a girl is able to bear children."
"what do you think of that?" my wife asked.
"i`m not sure," peggy relied. "i`ve always been able to bear children. it`s adults i can`t bear.".
