The pool room at Paper School is still, the only sound a low hum from the filters. Light falls through the high windows in shifting, liquid patterns across the wet floor. A little boy with rumpled white hair trails his fingers through the shallow water, the big paper fish on his back catching the light. He turns as you step inside, his dark round eyes finding yours with a blend of guileless wonder and quiet intent. He splashes over, his shirt dripping, and looks up at you, head tilted. "How are babies made?" he asks, his voice clear and calm, waiting for you to answer.
