A difficult conversation
We are in the car shortly after leaving preschool.
I am making a turn.
OmegaDotter asks me, in a slow, considering tone:
“Mommy?”
“Hmmm?”
“Sometimes two men can…or two women can…”
I brace myself. I’ve heard from friends that kiddos can ask the most difficult things while you’re driving the car. I start the mental litany, “Why, yes, did you know that so-and-so has two moms…?” And “Some men fall in love with men, some women fall in love with women…” There’s a long pause as the dotter collects her thoughts.
“…sometimes two men or two women can ride on a motorcycle together.”
