DRIVING my grandson, Will, aged nine, home after a sleepover, the conversation went something like this, after discussing at length the fact that people had babies:

Will: ‘Grandma, you mean to say people choose to have babies?’ Grandma: ‘Of course, Will.’ Will: ‘But Grandma, how do the babies get into the mummy’s tummy?’

Grandma: ‘Well, I think you should talk to your mum about that.’ Silence.

Will: ‘Why, Grandma? Did you forget?’

Yup! Mrs Irene McPartland, Middlesbrough.
