I’m no parent, but, my ex step mom tried to explain that to my half brother… Instead of laughing, he covered his ears and screamed “La la la la laaaaaa”
I’m not kidding.

Flora’s about ready to tell Tanya where she can stick it, I can tell
Well, Tanya has had this book for a while so, she’s probably read it several times. Of course, she’s never had an adult explain it to her so she’s probably nervous listening to the explanation and that’s her way of coping.
It’s hard enough for a parent to explain sex to a child but Tanya, you aren’t making this any easier. I’m no parent but, I can well imagine the difficulty it encompasses when a parent explains “the facts of life” to a pre-pubescent child.

I have to wonder what Beth-Anne’s thinking about all this. I don’t think it’s quite how she expected her day to go…
I’ve been wondering that too; I’m a bit surprised they included her in the discussion; I mean, Tanya, Hunter and Caleb are their children and Benni is basically theirs by this point, but Beth-Anne just got there and bombarding her with all this new info while she’s still adjusting to her situation seems a bit much.
And this is why adults have a small cabinet out of reach of little paws where after bedtime there are maybe one or two bottles of anti-stress synaptic therapy they may or may not indulge in…
Flora is only allowed One gin and citrus tonic water. A small one.
In fact, considering what happened with the wine, maybe a thimbleful…

There are just some subjects you can’t discuss without making kids bust out laughing.
I’m a parent. I’ve tried.  🙄

Although I actually thinks she appreciates being involved.
Tanya’s a bit of a butthole herself in this chapter.
To be fair, she’s a bit of a butthole much of the time.
Tanya has been an overenergetic annoying person since the comic’s outset.
Exactly So. 😉

Well, she’s got to drive home… Maybe cut that thimbleful with soda?
Hence the tonic water. Maybe with only a passing nod to the gin….
Tanya, I know you’re only 9 and you’re excited to hear about all the boys’ stuff but curb your enthusiasm a little, you’re making things awkward.
