Remember guys, discussion is good, it's healthy, but let's not turn this into a slanging match. Agree to disagree; different strokes for different folks & all that jazz.

The thing almost everyone is forgetting, as Ottery pointed out, is that she was asked this. I really don't think Jo would lie, especially to a child asking about something relevant to the books. If she wanted to avoid the question, she could have, but she chose to come out with the truth instead. For that, I respect her even more.
I agree. My take on all this is as positive as it could get. I do not think it was relevant to the story, so I can understand why it was never mentioned explicitly in the books. I do think it was incredibly brave and courageous of her to say this, even if it was conveniently timed. Jo continues to do things that make me love her more and more.
