Being poor, to a child...

Annie, 6 years old, gets home from school.
She had her first family planning lesson at school. 
Her mother, very interested, asks: " How did it go?" 
"I died of shame!" She answers.
“Sissy from over the road, says that the stork brings babies. 
Sally next door said you can buy babies at the orphanage. 
Pete in my class says you can buy babies at the hospital.“
Her mother answers laughingly, “But that’s no reason to be ashamed?” 
“No, but I can't tell them that we were so poor that daddy and you had to make me yourselves."
