one night, at story time when i was maybe 4 or 5, i asked my dad "the question" (que dramatic music). "where do babies come from?" my dad, being a book nerd, explained it to me as follows...
the female's book and the male's books come togther and the pages for a baby.
for the longest time i thought i would not be able to have babies, because i didnt own "that special book."
I know better now.
