I’ve tried to be truthful with any questions they ask, I hope that by being open about things they won’t get any nasty shocks, take on too much misinformation from their friends when they get older and aren’t afraid of birth. ( yes, I dream big!)

But no. You can’t stop them gossiping with their friends!
