Poor Micah.

At supper last night we were giving his oldest sister a hard time, because, well, she was acting pretty touchy and grouchy, and we made a few "when is your period due" type P.M.S. jokes.

Micah started paying attention to the conversation swirling around him... and the look in his eyes as it started to register!

"You get a period?!" he fairly croaked.

"Ah!" , Sister #2, (who had been briefed on "The Talk") smiled, "See, Mom, he WAS listening!"

Micah gave each of us, The Sisters, The Mother, a quick look in turn, then stolidly set his face back to his plate and his supper.

Oh for a Vulcan Mind Meld!
