True. The most telling line line, IIRC, is “I’ve never kissed a grown man before; what my daddy do don’t count.” I taught the book, and had always, perhaps naively, thought of the kisses as paternal.

I believe my grandmother said, “beggers the question” which I think is clearer. I’ve heard “leaves the question begging” which is a handy teaching tool, at least.

Whew. For a minute there I thought there were two opinions.

Me too. And I am one.

Only use the “that information is here” one once. After that it’s LMGTFY and RTFM.
