Six year old Annie returns home from school and says that today she had her first
family planning lesson at school.

Her mother, very interested, asks: "Oh. How did it go."

"I nearly died of shame!" Annie answers.

"Sam from down the street says the stork brings babies. Sally next door said you
can buy babies at the orphanage. Pete in my class says you can buy babies at the
hospital."

Her mother answers laughingly, "But that is no reason to be ashamed."

"No . . . but I was sooooo extremely embarrassed - because I can't tell them that we
were so poor that you and daddy had to make me yourselves!"
