I couldn’t tell you how our walk to the bus this morning led to a sex ed discussion.
There was a “do babies start out as small as this?” (fingers pinched to show a tiny size).
Yup.
“What do babies look like when they are that small?”
“Do they hatch from an egg inside the mom’s body?”
Well, sort of.
Ashlyn laughed “I have eggs inside my body?!?!”
Then, Drew piped in, “Did Lydia be born in a China belly?”
Yup. She was.
And, that was that. On the bus, off to kindergarten, no big deal.
And, I’m left wondering how I could possibly still need to answer that question. Oh my. At least it diffused the sex ed discussion.
Heh. At least you were ON your way somewhere – gotta go!! :) hilarious.
Oh yes, we have had a similar pre-Kdg day discussion. It was a bit more intense in nature since we live on a farm and dealt with the discussion coming from whether a baby cow actually comes out of a cows bottom. I kid you not.
A question … Out of the blue. ACK!
… but similarly diffused with a short answer that seemed to satisfy without being too much info.
Oh my goodness! These kids!
I’m a new follower here! Oh man, my 1st grader has been asking questions here and there about babies. I answer one question at a time, but know I will have to sit down for the big talk soon.
Stopping by from the blog hop and loved reading the stories about the kids and about China. I am following you thru GFC and would love a follow back when you get the chance. Thanks so much for your help and have a wonderful week!
