…the baby question

4 Jan

My mom was telling my three-year-old sister about giving her baby sunglasses to a less fortunate friend that is pregnant with a girl. This is the conversation:

Goldie: Well,  does the baby come out of her stomach or her private?

Mom: Sometimes from the stomach and sometimes from the private.

Goldie: But how does it grow in her tummy? 

Mom: It starts from a little seed like our plants.

Goldie: But how?

Mom: It takes a mommy and a daddy and the baby starts off as a little seed and it grows.

Goldie: But how does the seed get into her tummy? Does she swallow it?

Mom: *Laughs*

 

There was more to this conversation and I am so mad I can’t remember it… it should have been recorded.

Hearing that conversation made my morning :)
