condoms.....

ok, so today, in the clinic, i was working with a toddler, and his mother and his grandmother....the grandmother was several years younger than i but looked much older.........must be the cigarettes.....as they were leaving the daughter pulled me aside and asked me for the free condoms......well......i am unused to being asked for condoms, and it took all i could muster to neither look surprised nor disapproving.......good for her using any kind of birth control......and i was able to find the condoms.....that are usually left in bags by the clinic door, i discovered...so people don't even have to ask for them.....they had run out......so the supply was replenished.........this is a good thing......to have a no-questions-asked policy about something as basic as birth control.................for the record......all health departments in ky give out free condoms.......just in case you wanted to know..........
