Oh, indeed blushing talks! Explaining menstrual cycles to young gentlehobbits! Heh!

Author Reply: *grin* I'm always amused by the reactions of males when they first learn about all the biological things that females go through!

Perfect! This is *exactly* the way I like to see this sort of thing dealt with in hobbit-fic-- with innuendo and euphemism and noting actually *said*, but everyone understanding perfectly all of the things that are *not* said. And the parents showing good hobbit-sense to boot!

Pippin's embarrassment was fun, but Eglantine's was even funnier. (And I find myself wondering if Pippin doesn't already *know* the answer to his last question, and is just getting a weensy bit of his own back by embarrassing his mother, LOL!)

Author Reply: I think he already has some idea (with three sisters who've hit puberty before him, he's got to), but he's rather curious as to the details and what exactly it means. Plus, yes, I imagine that Pippin loves embarrassing his parents and is incredibly good at it. *grin*
