My two sons and I were on our way to run a couple errands when I get this question from the oldest:
Stas: Mommy, do all people have children?
Me: No, not everyone, honey. Your Uncle Todd doesn't have any children, right?
Stas: All people in our neighborhood do.
Me: No, not all of them.
Stas: All people in our state do.
Me: No, not all of them.
Stas: Why not?
Me: Some can't have children, some don't want kids, some don't feel they can adequately provide or care for kids.
Stas: What is marriage mommy?
Me: When two people love each other they decide to spend the rest of their lives together. Like me and your Daddy.
Stas: Macaroni and cheese is my favorite.
I guess the conversation was over.
