The Girl: “Mom, what’s ‘gay’?”
Me: “Well, men & women usually fall in love with each other. But there are men who fall in love with men & women who fall in love with women. That’s what ‘gay’ is. Why? What did you hear?”
The Girl: “Well, Nick said that President Obama was the first president to approve of gay marriages so I asked Emily what gay was. She said it meant “happy” but I couldn’t figure out why all the other presidents wouldn’t approve of happy marriages.”
