So, I explained what it was for (in a round-about way) and said I would explain the rest when she was a little older. I mean, she's going to eventually learn it right? <br><br>My Mom NEVER talked to us about anything and censored a LOT of what we did and watched and I hated that! <br><br>Hugs - TiffBaylee and Blair's pagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07362201977840208654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302027825736277868.post-11180506353307244702009-10-01T11:59:07.618-04:002009-10-01T11:59:07.618-04:00It surprises some people that we aren't big on...It surprises some people that we aren't big on censoring anything in our house, either.
