You would not believe some of the conversations I've had with my kids. Last night, I had a rather interesting one with my teenage daughter. I was helping her study for a science test which involved discussing the topic of reproduction.
"Did you know that men can produce milk?" she asked.
"No they can't!" I said.
"Yes, they can. Look." She pointed an article she found on the internet. "They have the hormones to do it. I bet if a baby sucked hard enough, some milk would come out."
I tried very hard not to laugh. "I bet in the whole history of the world, there has not been a single man who has produced one drop of milk for a baby!"
She was very insistent. "But they have the ducks to do it!"
The ducks?
(She quickly caught her mistake, and we both started laughing. So much for that study session!)
