It's all relative

[The scene:  me in the bath this morning, shaving my legs; Annie sitting on the edge of the tub, conversing about life]

Annie - "Mama, what are you doing?"

Me - "Shaving my legs."

Annie - "Why?"

Me - "Because that's what mommies do." (yea, i know... but what else am I supposed to say?  to lure men into our wicked web?)

Annie - "I want to do that.  Can I do that?"

Me - "When you get older like mommy, you can shave your legs."

Annie - "Like when I'm 40?... 60?.... 90?" (ouch, that hurt)  "Or even like when I'm 20?"

Me - "Yes, like 20.  When you are 20, you can shave your legs."
