Womanhood
It's been a while since I had a talk about womanhood with a newbie. Last time I remember was with my youngest sister Kelly in Ohio. Until tonight.
I lent my little knit bag to my young friend, who went to the Women's rest room. Upon her return, I said, "Welcome to Womanhood," and stated, "You know, with this comes great responsibility. You can make babies now." Her parent stated, "It's easy to make babies. It's raising them that's the hard part." My friend said, "Having babies is hard. It's painful." Her parent intoned, "Anyone can make babies. The hard part is raising them." I said, "That's true, it takes time to raise babies." "And it never ends," her parent added. "Yeah, just ask my parents," I concurred.
I walked back from my meeting with them.
