（单词翻译:单击）

"Daddy, where did I come from?" the seven-year-old asked.

It was a moment for which her parents had carefully prepared.

They took her into the living room, got out the encyclopedia1 and several other books, and explained all they thought she should know about sexual attraction, affection, love, marriage, and reproduction.

Then they both sat back and smiled contentedly2.

"Does that answer your question?" her father asked.

"Not really," the little girl said. "Marcia said she came from Detroit. I want to know where I came from."
