Can’t shield child
from facts of life
By Abigail Van Buren

DEAR ABBY: Our 9-year-old daughter, who is in the
fourth grade, loves to read. Each week she goes to the
library and brings home books, which she devours. She
also loves to read your column.
Abby, I can explain murders and riots to her, but how
can I explain some of the things she reads about in your
column? This week she asked me what a “homosexual"
was. She also wanted to know how you get a “venereal”
disease, and what “rape” was!
I told her that a homosexual was a person who had a
problem getting along with the opposite sex, that a
venereal disease was a serious infection, and that rape
meant overpowering and hurting a woman.
Must I hide the newspaper from my child? Do you really
receive a sufficient number of letters of this kind to justify
printing them? Or was this just a bad week?
UPSET DAD
DEAR DAD: Yes, I really receive a sufficient number of
letters of “this kind” to justify printing them. You are
fortunate to have a child who loves to read and doubly
fortunate that she asks you to explain things she does not
understand.
Few children reach maturity without hearing a good
deal about the subjects you mentioned, and what better
place than home is there for them to learn the facts? You
can “hide” the newspaper from your child, but you cannot
hide from her the realities of life.
Children who are old enough to ask are old enough to
know. Answer all her questions truthfully.
DEAR ABBY: I’ve been married for four months, and
everything is perfect except one small detail. My wife
insists that I sleep in pajamas. Abby, I’ve been sleeping in
the nude since I was a freshman in college. My wife says
that only animals sleep in the nude.
I don’t insist that my wife NOT sleep in nightgowns.
The other night she gave me a present—a pair of silk
pajamas, and when I refused to wear them and told her to
return them and get her money back, she became
hysterical.
Abby, my wife is not a prude and our sex life is fine, so I
can't understand why she doesn’t want me to sleep in the
nude.
Maybe you or your readers can convince my wife that
I’m no animal—that millions of men sleep nude. Thanks.
NO ANIMAL
DEAR NO ANIMAL: What you sleep in is between you
and your wife, but some men (women, too) find greater
freedom and comfort sleeping a la natural.
DEAR ABBY: I wrote to you six weeks ago asking if the
Salvation Army could locate my missing brother, and I still
haven’t heard from you. You say that you answer all your
mail. What happened?
STILL WAITING
DEAR STILL: I am under no obligation to answer a
letter that is not accompanied by a stamped, addressed
envelope for my reply.
For Abby’s new booklet, “What Teen-agers Want to
Know,” send 81 to Abigail Van Buren, 132 Lasky Dr.,
Beverly Hills, Calif. 90212. Please enclose a long,
self-addressed, stamped (244) envelope.
