Never a Dull Moment

     So I was driving my daughter home from dance class this past week and she piped up from the back seat and said "Mommy, what's a virgin?"  I almost wrecked the car.  This is not something that should be coming out of an eight and a half year olds mouth.  I of course was completely taken off guard.  I looked at the radio and thought... what song is playing?...and a million other things flew through my mind in a nano second.  Not wanting to lie to her I told her reluctantly that it's someone who has not had sex before.  Duh!!  Why did I not say it is a non-alcoholic drink or even its someone who hasn't done 'something' before.  Anyway, she then proceeded to say "well then that's inappropriate!"  Huh?  I get that this is not a normal conversation but, I was really confused.  I then said "honey, what do you mean?"  and then I got this....."That van said Iowa Virgin's Home on the side of it!"  Trying really hard not to laugh, I said to her, "Honey, are you sure it didn't say Iowa Veterans Home?"  Her response was "yeah, I bet it did...."   Ah....never a dull moment with this one.... I love you Reese's Pieces!
