Papa truly surprised me, said it all in his native Sicilian. Never once flinched or flushed.
“Egg waits, many sperm swim madly, battle for a single triumph. Ignition. Growth. Our beautiful Stella arrives.”
My papa, a poet. You would think such intimate conversation would have been with ma. Not so.
Deborah lives and writes in northwestern Montana. She is busy creating very short pieces in between assembling scenes for a forthcoming short story.
Wow!
Aww, so to whom did your father say this?
Thank you for your question. To his teen-age daughter, Stella.
Beautiful dad!
Yes, indeed. A loving papa. Thank you for your comment.
Ah! The bond between a Sicilian father and his daughter is soften with a touch of humor and education!
Papa loves this Stella, girl. It is indeed an atypical relationship to have such an intimate conversation between father and daughter. Thank you so much for your comments!
sometimes the best dads are moms!
What a terrific observation. Yes! Thank you for commenting.

It brings back memories of sex education from my parents. Yea, that about covers it!
