What's a What?

Scene: Mommy tucking Molly into bed...

Molly:  Mommy, do I have a step-mom?

Mommy: (perplexed) Um... no, sweetie.

Molly:  Well, why not?  What is a step-mom anyway?

Mommy:  (searching for the right answer...)  Well, if something... um, well, happened to me and I wasn't here, and if Daddy got married, his wife would be your step-mom.

Molly:  So like when you're on a trip?

Mommy:  No.  If I wasn't here... for a long time.

Molly:  You mean like for 10 days?

Mommy:  Exactly.  Exactly right.  If I was gone for 10 days.
