On a recent field-trip to the pumpkin patch - because it's that time of year y'know - Babyforce decided she needed to know the answet to a very important question, "If a Mommy & Daddy are needed to make a baby then who made the first Mommy & Daddy?" Profound, eh? Not only has she decided it's time to ask the tough questions, she asked the Mom of a friend who was driving her to the pumpkin patch.
With the wisdom of a father who's been around the Sun a few times, Jon shares his sage advice to a Chris who just hasn't come to terms that Babyforce is growing up fast.
