ALEX.

     It wasn’t unusual for the twins to attack her with a blitz of questions, which she patiently and graciously defused one by one. This time, it had been Anna who had triggered the chain of whys and hows, but it had been Ellie’s question about kissing on the lips that had stumped her. “Well… you, you kiss people that you like on the lips, but not just anyone. It’s someone, someone you trust, someone you’re comfortable with—” Her mind wandered to scenarios in which this wasn’t exactly true, but she didn’t want to say the wrong thing, give them the wrong idea. “And you should be older, like 18 or something. And… I think… your mom might know more about this than I do,” she stumbled on her words and she glanced at Petra with pleading eyes.

@petrasplaining for that thing we talked about.

     It’s endearing, watching Alex try to answer every question the twins have been bombarding her with for the last forty minutes — also kind of entertaining, seeing her fumble through Ellie’s last question. A smile of amusement stretches across her face as she looks on, with absolutely no intention of helping out. “Oh! …no,” she disagrees as the twins’ focus transfer onto her, “Mommy doesn’t really… know much about kissing people.” Brows raise and she briefly catches the other woman’s gaze and only offers a light shrug in response, not at all sorry for directing the kids’ attention right back toward her. “But I think Alex is doing a really, really good job at explaining it and we want to learn more.”
