One day a little girl went up to her mother and asked, "Mom, where did I come from?"

Her mother stammered¹ a bit, but finally regained² her composure. She thought it must be time that her daughter learned³ the facts of life.

So, she told her daughter about how the expression of love resulted in the beginning of life, how life developed in the womb and finally how a child was born.

As she explained, her daughter's eyes got wider and wider.

When she was finished, the little girl said "Wow, that's really neat. That sure beats what Uncle Joe told me. He said that he came from Virginia."
