Lynn's still young, she has not asked me these questions yet. But most parents nowadays are "informed" parents, having lots of resources and knowledge about what's to come, and most probably have thought about how to answer those questions when the time comes.
I don't prepare for such questions, cos I think I can reaction on the spot quite well. I have certain guidelines for myself, like I try very very hard not to lie to them. Sometimes, this is hard to achieve as the explanation needs to be age appropriate.
I think I have been quite successful on this in the past 5 over years. That's why I always remember this particular one thing, that I, well I didn't really lie, but kind of bullshit her!! Many years ago, she asked me what sanitary pad (she saw in my wardrobe) is. I said "..its.. mummy pampers". HAHA..
Last week, when we were playing and hugging she touched me and laughed at me "shame shame, mummy still wear pampers", cos she had just very recently successfully stop wearing diapers for the night. It's quite funny, so I thought that I should write it down!
